We offer a wide range of fresh fruits, berries, vegetables and meats, and you will need to be skilled in preparing and cooking all of these ingredients so they're served up tasting great. We teach and encourage children to appreciate and enjoy healthy food, so offering them high quality meals is important to satisfy their growing appetites, as well as to look after their health and well-being.
You should have at least one year of experience from working in a commercial kitchen, and have full knowledge of the food hygiene and health and safety requirements. Cleanliness before, during and after preparing food, along with checking temperatures, dates, allergens and intolerances will be part of your usual routine.

*
Correct seasoning and timing of cooked foods is essential, so they're served up at the right temperature and tasting great
*
Serving individual portions as well as self-serve trays, then collecting used crockery and cutlery afterwards
*

*
Encourage and promote healthy eating, and support staff in helping children learn about what they eat and how it can make them feel
*
A genuine desire to see children eat with a happy face and hopefully an empty plate
