At peak times, our kitchen is a busy, fast-paced environment serving hot food and drinks to the students and staff on campus. If you thrive under pressure, can juggle multiple tasks, and enjoy being part of a supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.

This role is for 36 weeks per year only; you'll work on campus from the beginning of September each year to the middle of June.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Offering a warm, friendly welcome to all customers
  • Serving customers at the till
  • Assisting with day-to-day kitchen tasks including daily food preparation, and cooking food items.
  • Providing outstanding customer service at all times and promoting the values of the Students’ Union
  • Adhering to Food Safety and Hygiene Laws and practices
  • Support Kitchen Supervisor with menu planning, ordering and student staff training
  • Supporting with monthly stock counting and stock management.

What we’re looking for:

  • A confident and capable outlook
  • A calm, focussed approach to working in a busy environment
  • A flexible, can-do attitude and willingness to get stuck in
  • Great teamwork and communication skills
  • A welcoming team and a strong community atmosphere
  • Opportunities to learn and develop your skills
  • Flexible working arrangements

Please note, that all employees are subject to pre-employment checks including a Disclosure and Barring Service check if required for the role. Please note, it is an offence to apply for this position if barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.

For a full job description, please  .

The closing date is Sunday 1st February at 23:00. However, please do not wait until the last moment to submit your application as we may close the vacancy early due if a high volume of applications are received.

In-person interviews will be held during week commencing 9th February.
