Catering and Hospitality Assistant (Union House) (Part-time, 21.75 Hours Per Week)

Salary will be £23,028 per annum pro rata (£12.21 per hour) 

Catering & Hospitality Assistants play a super-important role in the UEA’s ‘The Campus Kitchen’ in providing efficient support for barista and food service throughout the day. 

Working in any of our 14 outlets and busy hospitality department (but mainly in Unio), you will assist with preparation and service of food and drinks, delivered catering, keeping our outlets clean and tidy, and even assisting at a variety of functions and events. 

Based in The Hive at the heart of campus, Unio serves our student and staff community as part of the wider Campus Kitchen brand, providing fresh coffee, bubble tea, handmade hot flatbreads, and a selection of croissants and patisserie items throughout the day. 

As a team member, you'll play a vital role in ensuring smooth service, upholding high food standards, and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Whether behind the scenes or interacting with customers, you'll be an essential part of delivering exceptional experiences. 

Is this role for me? 

You will be able to work hard within a fast-paced environment; consistently demonstrate great customer service; display enthusiasm and have a willingness to support your colleagues. 

Previous experience of working in a catering environment with some relevant training or experience is beneficial, but not essential as full training & coaching will be given. Shift patterns will be for mainly weekends with some weekday shifts in Unio, working both day and evening shifts to suit the business needs.
