We are looking for a vibrant, passionate cook who wants to ensure a healthy attitude to food is given to the next generation?
We are looking for an enthusiastic, caring and committed cook to be based at Weston Mill Community Primary School. The ideal candidate will be able to work with us at CATERed to continue our transformation of school meals in Plymouth. They will need to have the willingness and ability to promote healthy eating.
CATERed was created to ensure that children and young people in schools across the City could have access to great tasting, high quality food whatever their background or school they attend.
CATERed enables all schools to have an affordable and sustainable school meals service without impacting on other school budgets and also for Head teachers and Governors to support the service but for it to be delivered by people best placed to do that – experts in school food delivery.
The successful candidate will be required to cook and prepare
meals from scratch using
fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, working to food costing’s and menus
which meet the Nutrient and Food Standards. They will also be responsible for
completing the necessary paperwork, placing orders with suppliers and managing
food stocks.
Within the role of Catering Manager they will manage a team of staff and will be responsible for staff appraisals and ensuring that staffing issues are dealt with in a timely and professional manner.

Working for CATERed, you will become a key figure in the school community and liaise with the head teacher, governors and other school based staff to help create a whole school approach to healthy eating and a "Healthy School" environment by working with pupils and developing educational food and cooking projects.
