Wells Cathedral School seeks a sous chef to assist and deputise for the head chef with the smooth and efficient operation of the kitchen to ensure the school’s reputation for food quality is maintained at all times.

A level 2 award in food safety or equivalent qualification is essential for this role.

Suitable candidates may be interviewed before the closing date, and Wells Cathedral School reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made. Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply early.

Wells Cathedral School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children; applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and obtaining an enhanced disclosure and barring services certificate. In addition, as part of the shortlisting process, we will carry out an online search as part of the school’s due diligence.

All positions within the school are exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. All applicants must therefore declare all previous convictions and cautions, including those which would normally be considered "spent" except those received for an offence committed in the United Kingdom if it has been filtered in accordance with the DBS filtering rules.
