Job Title: Primary School Catering Staff
Location: Hammersmith & Fulham, London
Contract: Full-time / Part-time (flexible options available)

Fancy a role where you’re the reason students get a proper hot meal (and maybe the highlight of their day)?

We’re working with a friendly secondary school in Islington looking for a Kitchen Assistant to join their team. It’s a busy kitchen, plenty of energy, and a team that genuinely looks out for each other.

If you like staying active, enjoy being part of a team, and don’t mind the lunchtime rush, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting the preparation of meals and snacks
• Serving food to students and staff with a friendly face
• Keeping the kitchen clean, tidy, and running smoothly
• Helping with deliveries and stock organisation
• Making sure food hygiene standards are spot on

What we’re looking for:

• Someone reliable, hands-on, and happy to get stuck in
• A team player who brings a positive attitude to busy days
• Previous kitchen or catering experience is great, but not essential
• A basic understanding of food hygiene (we can help with training if needed)

Why this role?

• A welcoming school environment where everyone pitches in
• Consistent hours, no late nights
• A chance to be part of the school community, not just behind the scenes
• Ongoing support from a friendly consultant who actually listens

The Protocol Education perks:

• Weekly pay through PAYE, no umbrella faff
• FREE access to our CPD Academy
• Your own dedicated consultant, on hand when you need them
• Opportunities in schools that value support staff
