We deliver fresh food to be proud of: food that will sharpen the mind, energise and rejuvenate the body. Our approach is one of partnership, our heritage and inherent family values breathe through our experienced team, empowering a naturally entrepreneurial and agile approach, but always consistently.

You'll work 35 weeks during term time and provide holiday cover for 8 weeks on rotation. Not every day within those 8 weeks will be worked; instead, some days will be scheduled throughout the year.
Sodexo and our clients are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults within a regulated activity.
