About this job

We’re looking for a reliable, hands‑on Canteen Cook to support a simple, structured food service environment. The role involves heating and preparing pre‑made food items, basic food prep, portioning, plating, and maintaining a clean and organised kitchen area. No scratch cooking is required.

You’ll follow set menus, work to timed cooking schedules, and ensure consistent quality and safe food handling throughout service. The role suits someone with experience in school kitchens, care homes, canteens, or food production environments where tasks are repetitive, process‑driven, and focused on delivering straightforward meals efficiently.

Key responsibilities include:

*

Heating pies and other pre‑prepared items to specification

*

Basic food preparation and portioning

*

Supporting service flow during busy periods

*

Maintaining cleanliness and food safety standards

*

Following clear instructions and working within a structured routine

Ideal for candidates who are dependable, punctual, and comfortable working in a fast‑paced but predictable kitchen setup
