Then get ready to showcase your talent with Palmer & Howells, a premier contract catering specialist delivering fresh, innovative dining solutions across the independent education sector.

We are hunting for ambitious, energetic graduates to join our fast-paced team. This isn’t a standard desk job; it’s a unique opportunity to gain hands-on operational experience, learn directly from industry experts, and kickstart a truly rewarding career.

Safeguarding Notice: All staff must share our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. An enhanced DBS disclosure will be required for this role.

Why Launch Your Career With Us?

Real Responsibility from Day One: Dive straight into live projects, helping deliver bespoke, high-tier catering services for prestigious clients. You will learn by doing and see the direct impact of your work.

Elite Mentorship: Work side-by-side with culinary and operational leaders who are genuinely invested in your professional growth and long-term success.

The 360° Rotation: Get a taste of everything. From mastering fresh-food kitchen management to building high-level client relationships, you will rotate through key business areas to develop a well-rounded executive skillset.

A Culture of Innovation: We thrive on creativity and sustainability. If you have fresh ideas, we want to hear them. You will have a direct voice in shaping the future of independent school dining.

A Recipe for Advancement: We don't just offer a job; we pave a pathway. Enjoy structured training, clear promotion milestones, and excellent development opportunities.

Operational Excellence: Master the day-to-day management of high-end catering operations, ensuring prestigious school clients receive flawless, premium service. This provides deep insight into fresh-food standards and kitchen supply chains.

Commercial Growth & Strategy: Build your business acumen by researching, drafting, and managing high-value corporate tenders. Working with senior leaders, you will map out strategic sales pipelines and master the financial levers of contract catering.

Client Relationship Management: Become an expert in client retention by partnering with school bursars, governors, and internal teams. You will learn to navigate complex stakeholder needs, constantly innovating to exceed expectations.

Industry Deep-Dive: Acquire a comprehensive understanding of the boutique commercial catering sector. You will network with key stakeholders and attend specialist culinary forums to ground your practical experience in broader industry trends.
