A leading independent co-educational day and boarding Prep School (2 to 13).

Orwell Park School is looking for a Catering Assistant.

Orwell Park is a co-educational prep school for day pupils and boarders. The outstanding beauty of the grounds and historic buildings contribute to an inspiring experience, which combines the legacy and traditions of the past with the dynamism and energy of the present and the future. High expectations, and learning strategies tailored to the individual child, lead to high levels of attainment.

We are seeking a Catering Assistant to join our busy catering team at Orwell Park School. You will have good interpersonal skills, an organised approach and enjoy working as part of a team. This is a full-time role working on average 43 hours per week during term time. Hours will be worked on an alternating two-week pattern, and weekend working is required. Although we are recruiting for a full-time position, we would consider filling this vacancy with two part-time employees and therefore welcome part-time applications.
