We are looking for a General Kitchen Assistant to work in our busy school kitchen at St Agnes Academy. This role will involve the preparation and service of school meals, ensuring the highest standard of food for our pupils, and clearing up after service. Experience of working in a catering environment and a current food hygiene certificate are desirable, but not essential as training will be given.

Kernow Learning is a multi-academy trust of 21 primary schools in Cornwall. We believe that our trust is at the precipice of something great; through a mix of collective synchronicity and autonomy, our schools are working together to provide strength so that they can stretch their offer beyond expectations in their drive for excellence. Our trust is not insular; we embrace collaboration, innovation, and development. Our English Hub supports schools across Cornwall to secure children’s early reading, whilst our Teaching School Hub, as a partner in OneCornwall, provides services to schools across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in relation to areas such as the Early Career Framework and National Professional Qualifications.
We may be biased, but we think that our school is a special place to grow and learn. Our aim is simply to be a great school. Using the considerable talents of our dedicated staff, families and other adults in our community, we support and challenge our pupils to think for themselves, do their very best and make a meaningful contribution to their world.
We embrace our Trust’s Core Shared Values of Strength, Wisdom, and Courage to help us aim high in all that we do. Our Trust Philosophy of ‘work hard, be honest & help others’ sets our pupils on a highway to success; a journey that we know will be different for each and every one of us.
As well as offering great schools to work in, wonderful children to work with, and fantastic colleagues to work alongside, our Trust is committed to providing colleagues with other benefits that make your employment with Kernow Learning the best it can be. We offer:
• A competitive salary and membership of Local Government Pension Scheme;

• A range of CPD and training opportunities, both internally and externally, learning from local and national speakers and specialists to support your professional growth;
• The support and skills of our networks of colleagues both within our schools and our Shared Services teams.
