A bit about us: The Governors of Marlborough St Mary’s Primary School are seeking a friendly, enthusiastic and reliable Assistant Cook to join our welcoming and dedicated school kitchen team.

We are a modern primary school in the heart of Marlborough, with a strong sense of community and a commitment to ensuring every child feels happy, safe and supported. Our motto, “Together we believe, learn and achieve,” reflects our values of inclusion, kindness and wellbeing, which are at the heart of everything we do.

We are proud of our welcoming and inclusive environment, excellent facilities and the positive experiences we provide for our pupils. Following our inspection in January 2025, Ofsted recognised exceptional provision across the school, praising our welcoming environment, exemplary pupil behaviour, exceptional personal development and high-quality support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.

Mealtimes are an important part of the school day and our kitchen team plays a valuable role in creating a positive, enjoyable and welcoming experience for all our children.

All about the role: We are looking for someone who is:

  • Friendly, enthusiastic and positive, with a genuine interest in food and catering.
  • Reliable, hardworking and able to use their initiative.
  • Supporting the Head Cook in the smooth day-to-day running of the kitchen and taking responsibility for leading the kitchen team in their absence.
  • A strong team player who enjoys working alongside others in a busy kitchen environment.
  • Organised and able to work efficiently to help ensure meals are prepared and served on time.
  • Committed to maintaining high standards of food hygiene, cleanliness and health and safety.
  • Comfortable using computers and willing to learn and use the school's computer systems as part of the role.
  • Flexible and happy to undertake a variety of duties, including food preparation, serving, washing up and cleaning.
  • Able to follow instructions and school procedures, with a good understanding of food hygiene.

The role will include assisting with food preparation and cooking, serving meals and helping to set up the dining hall. You will also help with washing up, cleaning and sanitising kitchen areas, equipment, tables and chairs.

  • A rewarding role where you can make a positive contribution to children's daily school experience.
  • A welcoming and modern school environment.
  • The opportunity to be part of a school that values kindness, teamwork and wellbeing.

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.
