2 weeks ago


Huntingdonshire, United Kingdom Ministry of Justice Full time

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. Hours and salary You will work a 37‑hour week and shift patterns are in place which include hours outside of 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday, weekends and public holidays. You will receive a 20% unsocial hours payment in addition to your basic pay, subject to working these hours. All roles can be open to part‑time and job share arrangements subject to the business need/operational requirement. However, you will still be required to undertake the full range of shifts. As a new recruit, you will start on the minimum salary. Band 3 salary minimum inclusive of 20% unsocial hours allowance – £33,746 Band 3 salary maximum inclusive of 20% unsocial hours allowance – £35,53 Qualifications and experience Level 2 certificate in food production within hospitality and catering or equivalent Food hygiene certificate at Level 2 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 speak with confidence in English Please note refresher training in food safety (HACCP) should be completed at three year intervals. Tips for applying You will need to provide an anonymised CV and answer questions which outline your past experience. You will also need to answer specific ‘behavioural’ questions. We will ask you how you would react in your job.
