  • Team Collaboration & Mentoring: Work collaboratively with the team to deliver a fun, friendly, and delicious dining experience
  • Hospitality Production: Skillfully manage the production of high-quality hospitality and special catering requests for clients
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain positive relationships with clients and customers, serving as a trusted, knowledgeable representative of Miquill

Requirements:

  • Proven, hands-on craft-based experience using fresh, quality ingredients, preferably within an education or high-volume contract catering environment
  • Food Hygiene Level 2 & 3 (or be willing to achieve Level 3 quickly
  • further professional training will be available)
  • Excellent, practical working knowledge of Health and Safety practices and kitchen operational efficiency
  • Basic computer skills, with familiarity in using different operational systems (e.g., ordering, compliance logging)
  • Exceptional self-motivation, creativity, and initiative—you are ready to lead improvements and innovate the food offer
  • A full UK driving licence, to enable you to travel between schools
What we offer:
  • Monday to Friday working—no more weekends
  • 20 hours working with no late nights
  • 38 weeks per year based around school term time (more time to spend with friends and family!)
