School Cook
We are looking to appoint a School Cook to lead our catering team here at Hemlington Hall Academy.
This position is a cornerstone of our provision – we want children to eat well, to learn well and love their school dinners! This position will require you to be flexible and creative as well as a good team player. The successful candidate must also be reliable, trustworthy, quick, efficient and conscientious. If you are a highly motivated, well-organised person who shows attention to detail and you are committed to the wellbeing of children we would like to hear from you. If this sounds like you and a role that you would relish, please look carefully at the following materials and complete the application form.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. The post is subject to a successful DBS clearance (certificate of disclosure form from the Disclosure and Barring Service) and pre-employment checks will be undertaken before an appointment is confirmed. Pre-employment checks including an online and social media search (KCSIE 2022) will also be undertaken before an appointment is confirmed.
The post will be based at Hemlington Hall Academy. However, the Trust reserves the right to require you to work at other schools within the Trust. As part of Lingfield Education Trust, there are exciting opportunities to work across the Trust and for career progression.
Application packs are available to download from the school website. All completed applications must be returned via email to Stephanie Robinson – Office Manager at srobinson-HH@hemlingtonhall.lingfieldtrust.org.uk
