    Job description:
This is not your average catering job.

It is a great chance to put your catering qualifications and skills into practice and make an impact far beyond the kitchen.


As part of the prison's catering team, you'll be working in a professional industrial kitchen environment, with a good salary, pension and Civil Service benefits including apprenticeship opportunities 'earn while you learn'.

Unlike traditional restaurant jobs, you won't have to work late into the evening.

You'll oversee the work of offenders to prepare and cook quality, nutritional meals for the entire prison.

Plus, you'll play your part in helping them turn their lives around - supporting them to learn new skills and work towards gaining qualifications to increase their chances of employment and reduce their likelihood of reoffending when they leave prison.

For the full job description please see the supporting document 1.


Watch our video on the website (details also on the attachment below) to hear from some of our prison caterers about what the role is really like.
