Apprentice Pastry Chef

The University of Cambridge is composed of 31 Colleges in addition to the academic departments and administration of the central University. Cambridge's Colleges are communities of students, academics and staff. Cambridge Colleges provide most of the accommodation for undergraduates and postgraduates at the University. At the undergraduate level they have responsibility for admitting students to the university, providing pastoral support, and organising elements of their tuition. For postgraduate students, research is conducted almost entirely centrally in the faculties, departments and other university-affiliated research centres, though the Colleges provide a central social and intellectual hub for students. Colleges provide a range of facilities and services to their members in addition to accommodation, including catering, library facilities, extracurricular societies, and sporting teams. Colleges also provide funding, accommodation, or both, for some of the academic posts in the university, with the majority of Cambridge academics being a Fellow of a College in addition to their Faculty/Departmental role. Fellows may therefore hold College positions in addition to their academic posts at the University. Colleges are self-governed charities in their own right, with their own endowments and possessions. Christ’s is classified as one of the 16 ‘older’ Cambridge Colleges as it was founded before 1596. Christ’s College is a self-governing academic community; founded in 1505, we are a charity which promotes education and research. We aim to attract the best students, Fellows, and staff, and to give them a secure and supportive environment in which to thrive and learn.
