Job description

Nursery Kitchen Assistant - Orpington

Join Childbase Partnership and be part of something extraordinary.

At Childbase Partnership we have been delivering childcare excellence since 1989. Our mission is to give children the best possible start in life and instil a lifelong passion for learning. Across all 44-day nurseries, Head Office, and our Training Academy of Excellence, our dedicated colleagues work together to create a lasting, positive impact in our local communities.

We are determined to be excellent and constantly strive for the best outcomes, not only for the children in our care but for every colleague too .

What makes us special?

• We are 100% employee-owned – which means we are all partners, we all have a meaningful voice, and we own our future (this includes sharing profits too, tax-free).
• Sector leading initiative: “Partnership Reward Days” – going the extra mile to promote a healthy work/life balance for you with up to an extra 20 days paid leave a year, meaning up to a phenomenal 50 days leave, with the option to sell a proportion if you would prefer; the choice is yours!
• ‘Number 1’ - we have earned the top spot in the prestigious Nursery World league tables for our Ofsted outcomes, all thanks to our extraordinary colleagues.
• Record-breaking Green Flag achievements, and climate-positive status - we save more CO2 than we create (take that, climate change!).
• Planting in excess of 2,000 trees in the Eden Restoration project - because the planet needs a hug too.
• Over £3.5 million raised for charity – we’re basically fundraising superheroes (without the capes).

At Childbase Partnership, our ethos is simple; we all belong , we all matter, and we all contribute so we all benefit.Our core values foster happiness, confidence, and growth, with a ‘careers not jobs’ approach, shaping the future of our extraordinary company together.

Own your future and join us as the Kitchen Assistant at our 148-place Brinds Well Day Nursery in Orpington.

This role is part-time, working 15 hours a week. Working hours are 11:00am-14:00pm, Monday-Friday, 52 weeks of the year. However, when one of the Cooks is on leave, you will be required to work additional hours to ensure the kitchen is covered fully. In these instances, you will typically be required to work 11:00am-18:00/18:30pm (up to 35 hours a week) .

For this role we are seeking someone who has current (or very recent) experience working in a busy, professional kitchen environment, perhaps as a Kitchen Assistant or a Kitchen Porter.

Join us and benefit from:

• A competitive salary: £24,102 per annum (pro-rata) / £12.36 per hour.
• From day 1: 75% discount for parents and 40% discount for grandparents at any Childbase nursery.
• Generous leave entitlement: Starting with 23 days annual leave rising to 28 days (pro-rata), plus paid bank holidays and up to 20 additional paid days off through our Partnership Reward Days initiative.
• Exclusive rewards: Tax-free Partnership dividends, qualification reward payments, long-service bonuses, retail discounts, family fun days with free tickets to UK attractions and cycle-to-work scheme.
• Well-being support: Mental Health First Aiders, two free meals a day in the nursery, subsidised medical care, flu jabs, eye care vouchers, occupational health support, and a free will-writing service.
• Growth opportunities: Team inset training days, professional development support, online courses, and apprenticeships through our Training Academy of Excellence.

Your knowledge, skills and character qualities make you the perfect Kitchen Assistant. You are:

• Passionate about providing wholesome, healthy food for children under five; your experience of working in a professional kitchen environment enablesyou to contribute towards the preparation of a range of meals from a set-menu, using fresh ingredients.
• Naturally diligent with excellent attention to detail; your knowledge of COSHH, allergens and environmental health legislation ensures you contribute towards maintaining a clean and hygienic kitchen and all children’s dietary requirements are met.
• An advocate for partnership working; you thrive as part of a team environment and you enjoy building meaningful and respectful relationships with colleagues, children and parents to promote healthy eating choices.

The Kitchen Assistant works in partnership with the two Nursery Cooks at the nursery to effectively maintain a 5-star food hygiene rating.
