As an Assistant Cook you will be working under the supervision of the Cook to prepare and serve meals to children and staff in a school lunch service environment. Working in schools in and around the borough, roles are part-time and term-time only, as such the working hours of these roles can be ideal for those wishing to fit work around school drop-off/pick-up or other responsibilities.
