STAHS is a vibrant school supported by a diverse and enthusiastic community of staff, pupils, parents, and alumni. It is important that our staff reflect the diversity of our community, and we therefore welcome and encourage applications from people of all genders and sexual orientation, those from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic backgrounds, and those with disabilities.

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, passionate and committed individual who is keen to start their career in catering and hospitality. This post will provide the opportunity to work in an established kitchen alongside a supportive and dedicated team.   

The role of Apprentice Commis Chef is a junior culinary position within the school and the apprenticeship programme will provide a means of learning a range of key skills under the supervision of a more senior chef. The successful candidate will learn the basic functionalities of every section in the kitchen and provide progression opportunities under the Apprenticeship programme, which is supported by the Hospitality Industry Training.

The Apprentice programme will typically take 12 months, during which time a personal learning and development plan will be agreed, with a timetable of learning activities in preparation for the End Point Assessment (EPA). Regular coaching and assessments will be included as part of the programme in order to achieve apprenticeship standard Level 2.

The role will be based at our Senior School in St Albans, but on occasions may be at our Prep site in the village of Wheathampstead, 5 miles from St Albans. 

The working hours will be 37 hours per week Monday to Thursday 7.00am to 3.00pm and Friday 7.00am to 2.30pm with 30 minute unpaid lunch break, 37 hours per week, term time only (35 weeks per year).

In return we offer:

  • Continued Professional Development (CPD) opportunities
  • An opportunity to join our warm, vibrant and ambitious community
  • Use of sports facilities, including gym and swimming pool*
  • An extensive benefits package

Details of the role and application process are available on the school’s website www.stahs.org.uk/vacancies 

Closing date: 9am Tuesday 21 February 2023

Interviews to be held: 2nd / 3rd March 2023

The High 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.

We are very proud of our warm and vibrant community of ambitious young people, caring and talented staff and supportive alumni and parents.

St Albans High School (we call it STAHS) is one of the country's leading independent schools, offering a rich and diverse education to 1,150 pupils between the ages of four and 18. We are selective at all points of intake, and we are consistently ranked among the best independent schools in the UK.

Renowned for both exceptional academic provision and extensive co-curricular opportunities, STAHS pupils leave school as happy, confident and well-rounded young people ready to make their mark on the world.

STAHS has two sites, a few miles apart: the Prep School in leafy Wheathampstead and the Senior School in the historic city of St Albans, just 25 minutes from King's Cross/London St Pancras. STAHS is proud to be a truly 'through school', with the majority of Year 6 pupils joining the Senior School for Year 7 and beyond.

Our Senior School of around 830 pupils from Year 7 to Year 13 has a visible and audible buzz, bustling with difference; difference of opinions, difference of ambitions and difference of interests.

It is my privilege to lead a team of outstanding colleagues devoted to preparing the young people in our care to live lives of consequence, making a meaningful impact on the world. We work together in a warm and grounded spirit that is uniquely 'STAHS'. Please do see the Head’s Welcome on our website to find out why STAHS is such a special place.
