Job overview

Do you have a passion for working with amazing food products, using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients? Are you interested in working in a creative catering environment that provides both staple crowd-pleasing dishes whilst also challenging palates with the flavours of the world? 

Bradfield College Catering department is seen as the market leader in terms of the quality, standard and the range of food we produce. As an in-house operation, you have access to the widest range of suppliers you may need to continue the development of our menus, ensuring your creativity is not constrained.   

This is not a ‘school dinners’ environment. You will be working with a highly skilled team, whose experience has been gained by working in some of the UK’s best and most prestigious hotels and hospitality venues.

 Your responsibilities will include:

  • The daily operation and food production of our core service, with a typical combined service of 1800 covers a day, to include Breakfast (400), Lunch (800) and Dinner (600)
  • Being involved with menu planning and innovation
  • Involvement in both term time production and extensive catered events over the school holidays, such as weddings and residential conferences

Experience in similar level roles is essential, with a quality background and experience gained from working in high end hotel and restaurant sectors, in addition to experience of volume catering gained in areas such as sports hospitality, private dining, banqueting or large outdoor events.

In return Bradfield College offer a variety of benefits such as:

  • Free meal during the working day when College kitchens are open
  • Contributory Pension Scheme 
  • Life Assurance Scheme
  • Subsidised membership of the Sports Complex and College Golf Club
  • Cycle to Work scheme

About Bradfield College

Founded in 1850 by Thomas Stevens, and set in the village of Bradfield amidst unspoilt Berkshire countryside, Bradfield College enjoys a well-established reputation for being one of the country’s leading co-educational, independent schools through its provision of academic excellence and a well-rounded education.

The College welcomes pupils from Britain and overseas; the pupil body numbers approximately 850 pupils, comprising 350 girls and 500 boys from 13 to 18 years of age.

Boys and girls enter Bradfield at 13+ and many more join the College’s popular and vibrant Sixth Form, where they can choose to study either the IB or A Levels. Faulkner’s, a state-of-the-art boarding house, is specially designed to help all girls and boys make a happy and successful transition from prep school (we recruit from more than 70) to senior school; pupils then move into one of 11 senior houses.

We offer an unrivalled sports and activities programme for all our pupils which ensures that every girl and boy has the opportunity to develop valuable skills outside the classroom, wherever their interests lie.
