Job description

Casual

City Catering is a traded service within the council. We are committed to ensuring that school children and students are provided with a healthy balanced meal every lunchtime.

Each kitchen is made of a dedicated team who work together to provide hot and cold meals and ensure that food has been served in a clean and safe environment.

Join our welcoming and friendly service to assist in our busy school kitchens, and that all cleaning procedures are undertaken throughout the working day.

These are casual positions at Rushey Mead Primary School.

What you'll need
It doesn't matter if you've never worked as a Kitchen Assistant before. What does matter to us the most, is taking pride in what you do and a willingness to learn. You'll be reliable, punctual, diligent, and enthusiastic and be able to work with mínimal supervision at times.

Along with a willing attitude to promote and ensure the good reputation of the school and be a helpful member of the catering team.

You'll be approachable and personable, and happy to speak with staff and students, whilst proving great customer service to all those who come into contact with the catering team.

You'll work flexibly and share in workloads, particularly during periods of pressure and be able to carry out all duties to a very high standard.

What we can offer you

As well as the satisfaction of helping to improve thousands of lives across Leicester, you can look forward to a work environment that encourages a healthy work/life balance.
