Role: Friday Breakfast Cook
Responsible to: Centre Manager
Responsible for: Catering (4 hours per week during our residential weeks). Permanent
Salary: £12.71 per hour
At Go Beyond the children and young people on residential breaks are our number one priority and this role is integral in being a positive influence, helping children develop an appetite for good food and healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Our young people will have had an exciting and busy week with us and the Friday English breakfast is very much part of our fond farewell.
We are currently looking to employ someone willing to run our Friday morning breakfast service from around 07:00 – 11:00. This is a full English breakfast with service prep starting at 07:00 and service at 8:30 for up to 35 children and adults with service and clean up concluding for around 11:00.
The role is based on a weekly average of a 3-hour shift, however on the weeks when we don’t have children and young people on site, you’ll not be required to work. The contracted 3 hours a week will flexed to fit into the 36 break weeks a year. This equates to 4.3 hours for each of the weeks we have children in. Our breaks calendar is planned a year ahead so you will always have plenty of notice of your working pattern.
Breakfast ingredients would normally be ordered as part of the centre weekly shop, so there is no need for shopping as part of the role.
