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 reliable, hardworking and positive Kitchen Assistants to join our team.


This is a hands-on role supporting the daily preparation, service, and cleaning operations of a busy school kitchen. You will play an important part in helping us deliver fresh, appealing lunches in a safe, welcoming, and well-organised environment.


Main responsibilities

  • Assist with food preparation and basic kitchen tasks.
  • Help with lunch service and presentation of food.
  • Prepare and maintain salad, cold items, and service areas.
  • 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.
