In this role you will be part of our busy Catering team serving pupils, staff and visitors with fresh and nutritious food with a varied menu that changes daily.
Routine tasks such as setting up the service counters, serving food and cleaning down the service area and dining hall are key components of the job. Assisting with the cleaning of utensils, crockery and cutlery will also be necessary to support the smooth running of the overall dining experience.

The boarding environment creates the need for us to work 7 days per week, to include evenings and weekends, and the rota system allows us to create a fair division of the work. The hours of work for this particular role are 33 hours per week.
We enjoy a supportive culture at Ryde and professional development is actively encouraged. All staff and pupils are asked to strive to embody the School Motto of 'Ut Prosim' (to be of service) and the School values of Ambition, Responsibility, Courage and Respect in their work and interactions.
