Job description 1
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'.
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.
For the full job description please see the supporting document 1.
