This is a vital support role within our school's catering team, focused primarily on maintaining high standards of cleanliness, hygiene and safety in our kitchen and dining areas. As the Kitchen Porter, you will be responsible for washing up, sweeping and mopping floors, waste management, restocking and keeping all catering and food preparation areas clean and well-organised.



While there may occasionally be opportunities to assist with basic food preparation and kitchen service, this is not the main focus of the role. Your core contribution will be helping the kitchen run smoothly behind the scenes -- ensuring it remains a safe, clean and efficient environment for both staff and students.



This role is ideal for someone reliable, proactive and team-oriented, who enjoys working in a busy environment and takes pride in keeping things spotless and well-organised.



We offer an incentive package which includes:


o A comprehensive induction programme for new staff to the academy.


o On-going investment into your career development through appropriate CPD.


o Support and mentoring by a strong Senior Leadership Team and other experienced leaders.


o Access to the Bike 2 Work scheme allowing up to 42% discount on the cost of bikes and equipment.


o Full use of an employee assistance programme supporting wellbeing.


o Complimentary breakfast of tea and toast.


o Subsidised membership of Benenden Healthcare (affordable alternative to private health insurance).


o On-site parking.


o Free Breakfast Club/After School Club place for staff children at Ocklynge School.


o Enviable setting and extensive grounds.
