Job overview

St Peter’s School, York is seeking to appoint an experienced and highly motivated senior industry manager to lead the catering function at school across the three busy catering outlets with a combined annual turnover in excess of £1.3M per annum.

St Peter’s comprises three schools: 

• St Peter’s School (pupils aged 13 – 18 years)

• St Olave’s School (pupils aged 8 – 13 years) 

• Clifton School and Nursery (pupils aged 3 – 8 years)

The School is fully co-educational with 1,150 pupils, of whom 130 are full time boarders and 250 are in the Sixth Form. There are over 300 teaching and support staff. It is one of very few schools in the North of England to offer three distinct phases of education, each sharply identified and focused towards the needs of its pupils at each age group and set within an overall context of trust, confidence building, inspiration and opportunity.

Not unlike a hotel, but with more social hours of work, the School provides breakfast, lunch and dinner across the week during term time, together with a wide range of hospitality events for VIPs, visitors and parents. We also cater for a busy summer lets programme and prestigious functions including weddings and corporate dinners, showcasing the School and its extensive facilities, throughout the year. 

The successful candidate needs to have a sound knowledge of food and be able to demonstrate a proven track record of success through inspirational leadership and sound business acumen. With substantial current experience in a similar high-profile position in business and industry, a hotel or educational setting, you must be highly motivated, dedicated, lead by example and enjoy working in a busy high pressured environment.

You should be a confident communicator, be IT literate and possess strong organisational skills. You will have experience, and up to date knowledge of the requirements of health & safety and hygiene management.

For further details visit www.stpetersyork.org.uk/vacancies.  

Closing date: Monday 24th June at 10.00 a.m.

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.  The successful applicant will be subject to checks by the Disclosure and Barring Service. The post holder will be required to take care to safeguard their own safety and that of others with whom they work and to co-operate with those designated with responsibility for health and safety.

St Peter’s School, for children aged 13 to 18 years, is underpinned by academic rigour and challenge. Through outstanding teaching, first rate facilities, high expectations and sheer determination on the part of its pupils, St Peter’s achieves considerable success across a broad curriculum. 

The four vibrant and successful boarding houses for boys and girls lend vitality to the pastoral life of the School. Inspiration from living in close proximity to a cultured and historic city adds further richness to the pupils’ lives. The Ofsted inspection of Boarding in December 2010 found the School’s provision to be Outstanding.

The School Chapel stands at the centre of the campus and regular services (three mornings a week) give pupils and staff the opportunity to reflect together on the spiritual values of the community and on the meaning and significance of what is happening locally, nationally and globally.

Music, Art and Drama are central to the cultural and academic depth of the School. The Sports programme is extensive, providing a wide range of choice for both girls and boys. Results are excellent, and St Peter’s pupils’ co-curricular achievements are considerable. The excellence of the teaching and facilities allows pupils to thrive.

The school’s website can be visited at www.stpetersyork.org.uk. The most recent inspection report is available on the ISI website.

St Peter's School, York, offers outstanding education for children aged 2-18. Visit the School website to find out more about St Peter's 2-8 and St Peter's 8-13
