• Supporting Chef Lecturers with practical sessions

• Monitoring stock levels and maintaining inventory
• Ensuring food is stored correctly and stock is rotated appropriately
• Maintaining high standards of food safety, cleanliness, and organisation
• Liaising with suppliers to ensure timely deliveries
• Helping create a professional learning environment for students

What we're looking for

• Experience working within a professional kitchen, hospitality, or catering environment
• Strong organisational and stock management skills
• Knowledge of food hygiene and health & safety procedures
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills
• A proactive approach with the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Experience supporting training or educational environments is desirable but not essential

Why apply?

• Permanent, full-time role
• Salary of £26,000–£30,000
• Join a supportive and collaborative hospitality department
• Opportunity to contribute to the development of future hospitality professionals
• Stable role with excellent work-life balance in an education setting
