A public service organization in London seeks a Catering Supervisor to manage meal preparation in a prison setting. This role involves overseeing offenders in an industrial kitchen, ensuring nutritious meal preparation, and supporting offenders to acquire new skills that enhance their employability. Full training will be provided, and a salary range between £37,525 and £39,511 is offered, including unsocial hours payments. Ideal candidates will have relevant qualifications and experience in food production and hygiene.
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.
Tips for applying: 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.
