• Serving service users, staff, and visitors with food and beverages.
• Maintaining storage procedures and stock rotation.
• Ensuring all areas, equipment, and furniture are cleaned and stored correctly.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• Knowledge of COSHH and HACCP.
• Experience in a similar role.

What you will get:

• Free meals and parking.
• Wellbeing support and activities to help maintain a healthy work-life balance.
• Career development and training opportunities.
• Pension contributions for your future security.
• Life assurance for peace of mind.
• An enhanced maternity package to support you during this special time.

Additional benefits include retail discounts, special offers, and more.
