Please note, we do not accept CVs.
This is a vital support role within our school’s catering team, focused
primarily on maintaining high standards of cleanliness, hygiene and safety in
our kitchen and dining areas. As the Kitchen Porter, you will be responsible for
washing up, sweeping and mopping floors, waste management, restocking and
keeping all catering and food preparation areas clean and well-organised.
While there may occasionally be opportunities to assist with basic food
preparation and kitchen service, this is not the main focus of the role. Your
core contribution will be helping the kitchen run smoothly behind the scenes —
ensuring it remains a safe, clean and efficient environment for both staff and
students.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This role is ideal for someone reliable, proactive and team-oriented, who enjoys
working in a busy environment and takes pride in keeping things spotless and
well-organised.
