Job description

Rossendale School are recruiting for a bank Kitchen Assistant to join the team!

We are looking for a passionate person to ensure our sites are safe and comfortable, while covering all aspects of being a Kitchen Assistant.

Rossendale is a day school catering for the needs of pupils who are autistic and academically able. All pupils have a draft or final Education, Health and Care Plan.

The School provides education for young people aged from 7 to 18 years. Key stages 3 and 4 are based on the main school site, while Key stage 2 and 5 are based at our Campus in the local community. At Key stage 4 and 5, we offer a wide range of GCSE subjects, BTEC Awards, Functional Skills, ASDAN, Entry Level qualifications, and A level courses at the sixth form provision. Given the disrupted nature of our pupils’ education prior to their admission to Rossendale, we have had some outstanding examination results. The school admits both boys and girls.

Due to the location and requirements of the role, all applicants must hold a full UK driving licence.

As part of Aspris Children’s Services, we are immensely proud of the career pathway and training we can offer you. We ask that you demonstrate the values needed for this role, transferable skills, and life experience, and in return, we will provide all the training and support you need to progress.

A Level 3 qualification or equivalent is an essential requirement, as well as previous experience preparing and cooking meals gained within a professional kitchen environment along with the following characteristics:

• Communication: Communicating with our young people is vital to understand their needs. Good teamwork and communication play a key part in ensuring important information is relayed to other staff.
• Organisation: You will need to be confident and organised in updating menus, dietary requirements, and reporting information that will be relevant to the care of our young people.
• Attentive: No young person is the same, so being attentive to understand them and identify areas where we can support is important.

Above all, we provide a supportive and collaborative working environment where you can flourish in your career and feel incredibly rewarded by helping those who need it most.

If you want to progress your career, Aspris Children’s Services will help you get there.

Aspris is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All applicants must be willing to undergo safeguarding screening appropriate to the post, including checks with the Disclosure & Barring Service and at least 2 references covering the last 3 years; for all our services, we will request references from where you have worked with either Children or Vulnerable Adults.
