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.

Band 4 salary minimum inclusive of 20% unsocial hours allowance – £43,908 Band 4 salary maximum inclusive of 20% unsocial hours allowance – £43,908 Qualifications and experience Level 2 certificate in food production within hospitality and catering or equivalent Food hygiene certificate at Level 2 Food hygiene certificate Level 3 (intermediate level) Working towards a relevant vocational qualification at Level 3 or already hold formal qualifications in catering e.g. City and Guilds 7061/7062 or NVQ Level 3 In addition, you must be: Familiar with all current health, safety and hygiene related regulations for working in a kitchen Able to demonstrate competency within an industrial kitchen environment Able to demonstrate team leadership experience Please note refresher training in food safety (HACCP) should be completed at three‑year intervals.

We will ask you how you would react in your job.
