About Bloom Community Kitchen
Bloom Community Kitchen is a fresh, seasonal, education-led school food company. We believe school meals should do more than simply feed children — they should help shape healthier habits, brighter days, and a stronger sense of community.
Our approach is warm, organised, and child-focused. We serve colourful, nourishing food, support schools with a calm and positive dining experience, and aim to build pride in great school food.
The role
We are looking for a reliable, hardworking and positive Kitchen Assistant to join our team. Primarily focused on keeping the kitchen and school hall spaces clean and tidy, staying on top of the washing up and ensuring that the salad bar and water dispensers are well stocked, you may also be asked to help with some basic food prep, baking and cooking.
Main responsibilities
- Wash up and keep the kitchen clean, tidy, and well organised.
- Follow food hygiene, allergen, and health and safety procedures at all times.
- Support the wider kitchen team to ensure a calm and efficient service.
- Help create a positive mealtime experience for children and staff.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Reliable and punctual.
- Friendly, calm, and a good team player.
- Happy working in a busy kitchen environment.
- Organised and willing to learn.
- Proud of keeping high standards of cleanliness and food safety.
- Positive about working in a school community.
Experience
Previous kitchen or catering experience is helpful, but not essential. We are much more interested in attitude, reliability, and willingness to learn.
Why join Bloom Community Kitchen?
- Be part of a fresh and exciting school food project.
- Work in a supportive, community-focused team.
- Term-time working pattern.
- Opportunity to grow with a new and ambitious company.
- A role where your work genuinely makes a difference to children’s day.
Safeguarding
Bloom Community Kitchen is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. This role may be subject to references, safer recruitment checks, and an enhanced DBS check where appropriate.
We would love to hear from people who care about good food, teamwork, and creating a positive experience for children.
