About The Connection at St Martin’s

We believe that no one should have to sleep rough on London’s streets, and that everyone should get the support they need to find a place to call home. We get to know every person we work with, understanding what they need to recover, helping them build on their strengths, and supporting them to find their own way home. Help us make London a city where no one sleeps rough on our streets.

London’s diversity is its biggest asset and we strive to ensure our workforce reflects London’s diversity at all levels. We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, gender identity, gender expression, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability.

We particularly encourage applications from candidates with lived experience of homelessness who we believe are an essential asset in our sector.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer and welcome the opportunity to consider flexible working arrangements.

About the Role

The postholder will support the Head Chef and Catering Team to deliver our Food Programme on site, work with colleagues across teams to provide client involvement and volunteering opportunities.

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to work in a fast paced, cause-driven environment. You must have experience in catering; be dynamic and energetic; have good practical skills and have the interpersonal skills to build relationships with colleagues, volunteers and clients both inside and outside of the kitchen.
