A government department in Wolverhampton is seeking a Catering Supervisor to oversee meal preparation in a prison kitchen. You will work with offenders, guiding them in cooking nutritious meals and helping them learn skills for future employment. This role offers standard working hours, a salary range of £33,746 to £35,533, and a chance to positively impact lives. An ideal candidate will have relevant culinary qualifications and knowledge of health and safety regulations.
This is not your average catering job. It is a great chance to put your catering qualifications and skills into practice and make an impact far beyond the kitchen.
As part of the prison’s catering team, you’ll be working in a professional industrial kitchen environment, with a good salary, pension and Civil Service benefits including apprenticeship opportunities ‘earn while you learn’. Unlike traditional restaurant jobs, you won’t have to work late into the evening.
You’ll oversee the work of offenders to prepare and cook quality, nutritional meals for the entire prison. Plus, you’ll play your part in helping them turn their lives around - supporting them to learn new skills and work towards gaining qualifications to increase their chances of employment and reduce their likelihood of reoffending when they leave prison.
You will work a 37-hour week and shift patterns are in place which include hours outside of 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday, weekends and public holidays. You will receive a 20% unsocial hours payment in addition to your basic pay, subject to working these hours.
All roles can be open to part-time and job share arrangements subject to the business need/operational requirement. However, you will still be required to undertake the full range of shifts. As a new recruit, you will start on the minimum salary.
Band 3 salary minimum inclusive of 20% unsocial hours allowance - £33,746
Band 3 salary maximum inclusive of 20% unsocial hours allowance - £35,533
In addition, you must be:
Please note refresher training in food safety (HACCP) should be completed at three year intervals.
You will need to provide an anonymised CV and answer questions which outline your past experience.
You will also need to answer specific ‘behavioural’ questions. We will ask you how you would react in your job.
