The Role:
An opportunity has arisen within our well-established Catering Department to join as Kitchen Assistant. The successful candidate must be driven, focused and have the ability to work in a timely manner to support the kitchen team by providing a clean and safe working environment.
You will ensure that the kitchen, service areas and equipment are kept clean and maintain a hygienic, safe and pleasant environment for staff and students.
The main responsibilities for this role include ensuring a high quality of dish washing and cleaning to support the team within the kitchen. You must therefore be comfortable working in this type of environment. Food preparation may also be required from time to time.
What We’re Looking For:
Why Join Bedford Girls’ School:
Closing date: Wednesday 8th January 2025.
Interview Date: Friday 10th January 2025
Applicants are encouraged to apply early as immediate interviews are available for exceptional candidates. We reserve the right to close the vacancy early should we receive sufficient applications.
Any internal candidates must apply through Employee Self Service.
At Bedford Girls’ School, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive working environment. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We believe that a diverse team enriches our school community and helps us better meet the needs of our students.
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The School may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants.
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self-declaration form in advance of attending an interview (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
