Job description

“Belong in a Team and Thrive in Service”

Equated pay (sometimes known as spread-over pay) is a method of paying you for your contracted hours, working weeks, and holiday pay spread over 12 months instead of just receiving pay during the months that you work and none during the school closures/non-working weeks. This means that you get paid equal amounts every month. Further information will be supplied at the interview stage.

As a Catering Assistant for Sodexo at Oasis Academy Short Heath, Streetly Road, Erdington Birmingham B23 5JP, you will contribute towards the smooth running of a fast-paced food and beverage operation. You will be responsible for showcasing what the kitchen supplies, presenting it in the most eye-catching way possible, and ensuring we offer the best service possible. You will not work unsociable hours and will have public holidays off, including Christmas!
