You will be joining Holroyd Howe, one of the UK’s leading contract caterers, providing fresh innovative food services solely to independent schools and colleges. We tailor our catering service provision specifically to suit children of all ages in order to meet the bespoke requirements of each school.
Our mission is simple: To provide our teams with the right skills to succeed in their jobs, we invest in their training and development. Our exceptional teams of seasoned specialists customise our catering services to fit children of all ages and satisfy the unique needs of our clients.
Job Description
Key Responsibilities:
- Supervise day‑to‑day operations of the department, ensuring smooth service across both service areas.

- Operate as a Store Porter/Driver to fulfil duties and meet the needs of our clients by delivering exceptional service.
- Planning social events throughout the year, with approximately every third weekend off.
- Maintain a flexible working approach, as this is a five‑out‑seven‑day position, 40 working hours per week.
- Have a full driving licence and use of your own vehicle advantageous due to public transport links and timings not aligned.
We are closed over the Christmas and New Year period, allowing additional family time. Free meals while on duty, full uniform is provided, and access to the onsite gym at a very reduced cost (as little as £5 per month after probation).
Free car parking, 28 days holiday inclusive of bank holidays (we have every long weekend off).
