Do you have the ability to motivate a team in a busy environment, ensuring excellent standards of customer service at all times? Do you have experience working at a management level in a commercial kitchen setting and are looking for a new challenge? 

Overview of the Role

The University of Leeds has recently made a significant investment into its sporting facilities with a £5.2 million investment at our Bodington Playing Fields Site. This included the construction of the new Brownlee Centre and a 1.6km closed loop road cycle circuit. Other recent projects include a new FIFA quality and world 22 standard 3G pitch and an international standard water-based hockey pitch. 

Outdoor Sport provides a bar/ catering offer across all three sites; Sports Park Weetwood, Bodington Football Hub and the Brownlee Centre. The diverse catering offer includes University sports team meals on match days, national league Hockey, cricket teas and corporate days/ events, in addition to the daily bar operation. 

As Food & Beverage Manager you will have experience working within a hospitality and/or catering setting at supervisory level; and will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Effective time management and organisational skills are key to ensure an effective and efficient food service experience. 

You will have a Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) Level 3 Certificate in Food Safety and will be responsible for providing a quality drink and meal service for our sport clients, in line with their requests, whilst adhering to food safety and labelling legislation. Working in conjunction with the Facility managers, you will be responsible for monitoring stock and food and drink deliveries and for ensuring that the Catering Services unit operates on a day to day basis to meet our customer needs. 

This full-time role will work on a 5 over 7 shift basis and will include the requirement to work on a shift-based system, which includes evening and weekend work. 

Although you will be based at our Sports Park Weetwood facility, you may also be required to work at any of the areas within Outdoor sport, when there is a business requirement.
