Do you have experience leading or supervising a team and enjoy delivering excellent customer service? If you're looking for a rewarding role with family-friendly hours, we'd love to hear from you.

At Lancashire County Council, we believe that a healthy, balanced meal can make a real difference to a pupil's day.

As a Unit Catering Supervisor at Lomeshaye Junior School, you'll play a key role in ensuring pupils have access to nutritious, high-quality meals that support their learning, wellbeing and development.

Every meal you help prepare and serve contributes to a positive school experience, helping young people stay focused, energised and ready to learn.

Why Join Our School Catering Team?

  • Flexible, family-friendly hours that may fit around your lifestyle and commitments
  • Monday to Friday working pattern, with no regular evenings or weekend shifts

A rewarding role where you can see the positive impact of your work every day!

The opportunity to lead a dedicated team delivering a valuable service to pupils

School catering offers the unique combination of a catering career and an excellent work-life balance, allowing you to enjoy more quality time outside of work while continuing to use and develop your skills.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
