Working alongside all the section chefs and reporting to the executive head chef, the role requires an extensive list of skills and comes with an eleven-page application form.

“The College is looking for a team player, with previous catering experience, who has creative flair and who is passionate about food. Good organisational, time management, communication and planning skills are also essential.”

Some of the benefits of working at Selwyn include free use of the college gym, subsidised private healthcare and a free meal on duty.
