MAIDWELL HALL

IAPS Co-Educational Boarding/Day Prep School

Chef/Cook

Required January 2022

The Appointment

We are looking for an experienced chef/cook to work as part of our small catering team on a full-time basis. Normal hours of work will be 42 per week. The vacancy offer afternoon and evening hours of work (1200 to 1900 for 6 days of the week) but there is flexibility within the team rota so candidates should not regard these hours as a reason for not applying. With the exception of the first three and last three days of terms there is a full entitlement to school holidays (8 weeks Summer, 4 weeks Christmas and Easter). The post offers a good salary. The same applies to half-term’s (2 weeks (Autumn), 1 week (Lent and Summer) and to our regular leave out weekends which run from 1230 on Fridays to 1930 on Mondays.  

Applicants will need to demonstrate an ability to work well as part of a team but also to have the initiative to work by themselves. They will need to be multi-skilled and to be familiar with modern nutritional policy; they will need to have had appropriate training.  An EHC level 2 award will be desirable but is not essential. The experience of catering for 120+ people and of working with fresh ingredients will be an advantage. It will also be an advantage to demonstrate experience with working in a school but this is not essential.  

Full details of the post and an application form can be obtained from:
