Pastry Chef | £18.31/hr | Brentwood | Monday–Friday Days | Start 5th May

Your pastry skills deserve a kitchen that matches them.

If you take pride in your craft, work clean, and want a role with proper daytime hours at one of the most prestigious independent schools in the country, this one's for you.

You'll be working as part of the catering team at a well-established school in Brentwood, Essex - a school with nearly 500 years of history, 1,800 students, and the kind of reputation that demands quality in everything it does, including its food. Your focus will be on pastry: producing high-quality baked goods and desserts for a demanding and discerning environment. It's Monday to Friday, largely daytime hours - which means your evenings and weekends are yours.

This role starts on 5th May and is ongoing whilst the school recruits a permanent hire. For the right person, that could mean several weeks or months of consistent, well-paid work in a fantastic setting.

What you get: £18.31 per hour, paid weekly every Friday. No waiting around - your money lands on time, every time. You'll need your own transport to reach the site, and an Enhanced Child Workforce DBS will be required before you start.

What makes this role different: Daytime hours. Monday to Friday. A genuinely prestigious setting. For a pastry chef who wants consistent, quality work without unsociable shifts, this is a rare find.
