Our Catering team are valuable in contributing to quality patient care. We are welcoming applications for Catering Assistants to join us on our journey in making a real difference to our patient’s lives.

As a Catering Assistant, you’ll help us create and serve food that’s every bit as fresh, eye-opening and enticing as those served by the best hotels and restaurants.

This is a chance to get great catering experience while enjoying the kind of benefits few commercial outlets are able to provide. But it’s also a chance to brighten up the day for people who really need it.

Perhaps you’ll deliver the food, service and experience that can really help people on the road to recovery. Or provide much-needed fuel for our colleagues as they deliver exceptional care. Or offer a comforting meal to visitors when they’re at their most vulnerable. Whatever you do, your work will have a big impact.

Above all else, we’re committed to the care and improvement of human life. It’s this guiding vision that influences everything we do at HCA UK. From the CEO to the colleagues on the floor we all have a part to play in delivering exceptional care to our patients. Other’s may think this is just a role in catering, but to us, you’ll be part of a wider team with a unique sense of purpose, one that helps improve lives on a daily basis.

What you’ll bring

• Awareness of food and hygienestandards
• Passionate about customer care
• The ability to communicate effectively with patients, visitors and healthcare staff
• The ability to work under pressure, and with a flexible approach
