To support our ambition to double the growth of our Care Homes business, we’re looking for a dedicated and energetic Events Assistant to take our food on the road - quite literally.

This is a unique and rewarding role that puts you at the heart of apetito’s growth within the care homes sector. You’ll be responsible for driving and managing our mobile kitchen, known as the ‘apetiser’, which is a 3.5 tonne van at on-the-road events. You will be bringing our food directly to potential and existing customers across the country.

As a business built on the quality of our food, tasting experiences are one of the most powerful tools we have. They allow us to showcase our meals, ensuring they are expertly served and enjoyed in the way they’re meant to be. This role ensures that our tastings are not only delivered seamlessly but leave a lasting impression.

Working in close collaboration with both our Sales and Marketing teams, you’ll play a key role in delivering stand-out events, roadshows and tasting days - whether that’s meeting new prospects, supporting care home group meetings, or running engagement days for our valued existing customers.

• Driving the vehicle to all ‘apetiser’ events
• Vehicle setup, cooking and serving of food at all ‘apetiser’ events
• Cleaning and maintenance of the vehicle, inside and out, to ensure it is representative of apetito at all times
• Stock management of all items and disposables required for ‘apetiser’ events
