About You

The successful candidate will provide support across all areas of the department, with a specific emphasis on food. Responsibilities will include preparing equipment and ingredients for lessons, maintaining classrooms and equipment, and ensuring compliance with all Health and Safety regulations.

You will assist teachers and students during lessons and provide general support to the department. A solid understanding of food safety and hygiene is essential, while prior experience in a school setting is preferred.

Candidates should be skilled in monitoring, maintaining, and ordering equipment and supplies.

A positive attitude, a calm demeanor, and the ability to organize, prioritize, and manage a demanding workload—potentially requiring long periods of standing—are crucial. Strong communication skills are necessary, along with the ability to work independently or as part of a team, maintaining a professional demeanor.

Candidates must be competent users of ICT, particularly with MS Office applications such as Word and Excel. Familiarity with safeguarding protocols for working with children is also essential.
