Need a term time only job?

Come and join our team

We are looking for an enthusiastic Catering Assistant to join our busy team preparing and serving freshly prepared healthy, nutritious school meals. Our Catering Assistants work term time, during school hours.

It's a rewarding job, and we'll give you all the training you need to succeed; we have plenty of opportunities for you to learn and progress.

You'll need to enjoy being part of a team; serving lunch on time is essential, so you must be able to cope in a busy environment. In this role, you will also need to assist the head of kitchen with kitchen duties and deputise for them in their absence.

If you have experience of working in a catering environment, that would be an advantage, but it's not essential.

Why work for us?

Education Catering is a forward-thinking, solution-focused catering service. With our term time contracts, we offer an excellent work-life balance, a commitment to training and development, and a friendly and supportive working environment. To find out more about us, visit our Education Catering work with us page Work with us | Hampshire County Council (hants.gov.uk)

You will also benefit from a healthy benefits package including:

  1. Term time only positions
  2. Uniform
  3. Full training and opportunities to progress
  4. A minimum of 24 days annual leave entitlement taken in the school holidays, plus bank holidays
  5. Interest-free travel loans and discounts
  6. Employee Support Services
  7. Family-friendly policies
  8. Access to Local Government Pension Scheme
