This is a great opportunity for an enthusiastic and passionate School Cook to join the catering team at Reddish Vale High School. We are looking to recruit a School Cook who is passionate about both great food and great service. Someone who will support the team in our kitchen and strictly uphold good working practices to maintain the highest standards of hygiene and safety.

Reddish Vale High School is part of the Achieve and Learn Trust, which expressed simply, the trust is committed to personal growth and academic excellence for all pupils. At Reddish Vale High School, committed staff provide a positive and nurturing environment that inspires a passion for learning, so that every pupil progresses and thrives. Our pupils are encouraged to achieve to their best personally, academically, physically and socially.

Ideally you will have experience of working within a high-volume food business and will be used to cooking with fresh ingredients. Alternatively, you might simply have a strong passion for cooking and feel that you could add value in a role like this. Either way you will need to enjoy working in a busy kitchen and enjoy rolling up your sleeves to be very much hands on. A qualification to NVQ level 3 standard would be desirable but not essential.

The successful candidate will demonstrate the following:
Able to deliver a high standard of customer service
Pro-active with the ability to act on your own initiative
Commitment, flexibility and enthusiasm
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills

In return we can offer:
A friendly, supportive and hugely talented whole staff team
Outstanding and supportive leadership at all levels
An inclusive learning ethos
