I am currently recruiting for a Senior Catering Assistant to work for a college in Cambridge. As a Senior Catering Assistant, you will be working with a small and friendly team who primarily provides a range of meal services throughout the year.
The role is therefore a varied and interesting one, requiring a meticulous, practical, hands-on approach. At certain times the Senior Catering Assistant will be responsible for the management of a small team of casual Service Staff.
Typical duties would include:
- Provide high-quality food and drink service to students or conference attendees.
- Supervise service staff and help to direct casual waiting staff as required.
- To maintain high standards within the dining and function rooms in the college.
- Adhering to health and safety and food hygiene regulations and procedures.
The successful candidate:
- Previous experience within a college catering position.
- Able to work in a busy service based environment.
- Well organised with a high level of attention to detail.
- Able to work well as part of a team.
It would be beneficial but isn't essential if you had previous experience working within the education system.
The role is full-time. You will follow a fixed and planned rota which provides a range of different shifts, including many straight shifts. The rotas are worked over a two-week basis (80 hours over two weeks, including meal breaks), you have a set day off every week and will work alternate weekends on and off. There will be some scope to earn overtime, when the need arises. Overtime is paid at time and a half ordinarily, and at double time for a Bank Holiday, or offer the option to take this as lieu time instead.
If this sounds like a position suitable for you and more information of the role, please click apply immediately or get in contact with Emily.
We endeavour to reply to every candidate, every time but if you haven't heard back within 10 days please understand that you have unfortunately been unsuccessful for this position or the position has been filled. Please call the office or send an email to discuss other potential positions.
