As Catering Assistant, you will work within the Catering Team supporting the Unit Supervisor/Cook to deliver healthy, fresh and nutritious meals.

Moray Council Catering Services operate across 52 schools in both primary and secondary schools as well as providing meals for Early Years Settings through-out the area. You could join the 300 staff we have across Moray preparing and serving meals daily to schools and nurseries, making us the largest catering operation in Moray.

Every one of our employees contributes to the success of our organisation and most importantly the health of pupils daily and are very proud to deliver high quality catering service.

The successful candidate will be required to travel efficiently and effectively between Aberlour Primary School, which operates as the production kitchen, and Craigellachie Primary School, which is a servery, to meet the operational needs of the service.

The role involves transporting meals from the production kitchen to the servery and returning the empty delivery containers and boxes. Due to the rural nature of Moray, this journey is typically undertaken by car or van. Therefore, a full driving licence and access to a suitable vehicle are essential requirements for this post.

Please see attached documentation for further information about the role.

This post is considered to be a ‘Regulated Role’ under the Disclosure (Scotland) Act 2020. Under the Act it is a legal requirement for an individual undertaking a regulated role with children or protected adults to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme.

Therefore, the successful candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme Update check prior to any formal offer of employment being made by Moray Council.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary which annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation. This would be an ideal position for a motivated individual which would provide a good work/home life balance.
