Type: Permanent

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with food, likes variety and is happy getting stuck in wherever needed.

This is more than just serving in a café.

You’ll be preparing sandwiches, helping with buffets, supporting in the kitchen, serving customers and making sure everything runs smoothly throughout the day.

The usual hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30am-3:30pm
, which is a pretty decent catering shift if we’re being honest, but there will be some flexibility needed for occasional weekend events.

• Preparing sandwiches, rolls and light food

• Helping prepare buffets and event catering

• Supporting food preparation in the kitchen

• Serving customers in the café

• Handling food safely and correctly

• Keeping food preparation areas clean and organised

• Replenishing displays

• Washing up and supporting general kitchen duties

• Following food hygiene and food safety procedures

• Helping the wider team during busy periods

• Supporting occasional events where required

You must have previous food preparation or catering experience and hold relevant food safety / food handling qualifications
.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Confident preparing food

• Experienced in a café, catering or kitchen environment

• Food hygiene trained

• Friendly and comfortable dealing with customers

• Reliable and organised

• Happy working as part of a team

• Flexible enough to support occasional weekend events

• Willing to help wherever needed

This is not a role where you’ll be doing the same thing all day.

You could be prepping sandwiches, helping with a buffet, serving in the café and then jumping back into the kitchen.

So if you like variety, great.

If your favourite phrase is that’s not my job, this probably isn’t the one.
