Assistant Kitchen Manager

Chulmleigh Academy Trust is seeking to

appoint a reliable and hardworking individual to assist

the Academy Kitchen Manager with the day to day running of the kitchen and food

service.

We are pleased to offer a permanent position,

working 37 hours per week across 39 weeks per annum (term time, including

Non-Pupil Days). The preferred working pattern is Monday to Friday, 7.00 am – 3.00

pm (including a 30-minute unpaid break). However, we are open to discussing

some flexibility around these hours at interview to support the right

candidate.

As an Assistant Kitchen Manager, you will

play a crucial role in preparing the main meal of the day and providing a high-quality

food service for all the schools in the Trust and to deputise in the Kitchen

Manager’s absence. In addition, you will be responsible for the completion of

relevant paperwork, such as ordering stock, and supporting the Kitchen Manager

in the ongoing training and supervision of staff in all aspects of catering and

in line with current legislation.

You will join a hardworking, friendly, and

highly valued catering team who are committed to our ambition to offer the best

provision to our pupils across all areas of their education.

We welcome applications from candidates with an

established background in catering. Applicants should have experience in

preparing and serving food in a busy commercial kitchen environment. A City and

Guilds 706 Part 1 and Part 2 qualification—or an NVQ equivalent is essential.

The ideal

candidate will be a motivated and reliable team player with a ‘can-do’ attitude

and a genuine passion for delivering exceptional customer service. You will be

joining a fast-paced, vibrant department where enthusiasm, flexibility, and a

commitment to high standards are highly valued.

Please email the completed application form

to personnel@chulmleigh.devon.sch.uk by 10am

on Wednesday, 3rd June. All applications

will be acknowledged. Alternatively, please call 01769 580215 to

register your interest in the role, and we will be pleased to contact you to

discuss the position further and support you with completing an application. Shortlisted

candidates will be invited to spend time with the Catering Team to experience

the working environment. Interviews will take place on Thursday 11th June.
