Huntingdon, United Kingdom Ministry of Justice Full time

**Prison Catering: Caterer - HMP Littlehey - 71639**
**£28,880 - £30,410**
**Huntingdon**:
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 refer to supporting document 1.

Watch our video on the website to hear from some of our prison caterers about what the role is really like.

- Able to demonstrate competency within an industrial kitchen environment
- Able to speak with confidence in English

Please note refresher training in food safety (HACCP) should be completed at three year intervals.
