By providing excellent care and services to both clients and children, we have ensured the successful growth of the company, and to keep up with the rapid pace of this growth, we are now looking for a Catering Assistant to join the team.

The role:

• You have your Food Hygiene level 2 (preferred, but not essential as training will be given)
