About the Role

As a Mobile Food Service Assistant, you'll provide cover across multiple sites, supporting the day-to-day running of busy catering operations. From preparing and serving food to maintaining clean and safe kitchen environments, you'll play an important role in ensuring each location runs smoothly.

You'll be responsible for setting up the service, serving meals to pupils, maintaining a clean and organised kitchen and dining area, and clearing down after service. You'll work independently while maintaining high standards of food hygiene, safety and customer service.

• Clear down and clean the kitchen and dining areas after lunch.
• Maintain clean, safe and hygienic working areas.

• Ensure the daily catering service runs smoothly while working independently.
• Assist with the preparation and serving of food and beverages

What We’re Looking For

• A positive and reliable attitude
• Strong teamwork and communication skills
• Good organisation and attention to detail
• Ability to work in a busy environment and prioritise tasks
• Previous catering or food service experience is helpful but not essential, as full training will be provided
