We’re looking for a confident and enthusiastic Catering Supervisor to lead our front-of-house catering and cleaning services at the International Study Centre, based at the University of Exeter.

In this role, you’ll oversee the day-to-day running of the café, manage a small team, and ensure high standards of hygiene, customer service, and safety.
