Union House Catering Supervisor

UEA Retail & Catering Services are seeking a confident and enthusiastic supervisor to become part of the management team of their pizza kitchen and barista coffee shop.

This is primarily a hands-on food and hot beverage production role at a supervisory level and would suit someone with previous catering supervisory experience, ideally from kitchens or barista coffee shops. The role will involve stock management, customer service, people management and administration, as you will be managing a casual staff team of mostly students.

You will be expected to work across our services, and, due to the nature of the business, the ability to work both late nights and early morning shifts is important. Previous experience as a supervisor is essential, as are excellent interpersonal skills. You will need a flexible and professional approach to work and excellent organisational skills. A Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate is desirable but not essential.

If you are passionate about your career and looking for a good work life balance, this is an excellent opportunity for you. 

Benefits include:

• Working hours of 36.25 per week.
• 34 days leave which includes an allowance for bank holidays and an equivalent allowance for UEA customary days
• Family and Work-life balance policies including hybrid working and considerable maternity, paternity, shared parental leave and adoption leave.
• Generous pension scheme with life cover for dependents, plus incapacity cover.
• Health and Wellbeing: discounted access to sportspark facilities, relaxation rooms, 320 acres of rolling parkland, wellbeing walks, medical centre, Occupational Health and a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme.
• Campus Facilities: sportspark, library, nursery, supermarket, post office, bars and catering outlets.
• Exclusive shopping discounts to help cut the cost of household bills, childcare salary sacrifice scheme, Cycle to Work scheme and public transport discounts.
• Personal Development: unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning courses, specialist advice and training from our Organisational Development and Professional Learning Team.
