Castles were really big so you might make the assumption that they had a lot of people who worked at them in order to keep them looking nice and keep others in the town happy. A few workers at the castle were; the constable, who looked after all of the buildings in the castle. A Marshall who looked after all the animals held at the castle, many servants worked at the castle, the Chamberlin was the head chef a prepared most foods served, and a steward who looked and advised the finances. Slaves and maids who worked at the castle had separate buildings on the peremesis of the grounds in order for them to be close when needed, which I thought was a very interesting idea.
The chefs had one of the most important jobs of preparing food because they also stored a lot of food and I said earlier the 3-6 month supply of food was just in case of a siege occurring on the castle. Now you might be wondering that seems like a lot of people for on building and yes that is true, there was about 100+ people that worked or held a job at the castle.
