About the role

The University Hospitality Department provides catering to students, staff & external customers throughout the academic year and during the summer months. There are numerous outlets run by the Hospitality Department offering a range of food and drink options.

The West hospitality team are seeking a Food & Beverage Assistant to join their team in Food Direct, their dedicated hospitality delivery service. This is a physical and, at times, fast-paced role that involves preparing, delivering, and setting up catering orders across campus. You’ll also collect and return equipment and supplies to the Food Direct base. Occasionally, you’ll support events by serving food and drink.

While Food Direct will be your primary area, you’ll also work across other west hospitality food outlets, where you’ll take customer orders, operate tills, prepare and serve food and drink, restock stations, and help maintain clean and tidy catering areas.

The role includes a variety of shifts, which vary according to the business needs. These include early morning, lunch periods Monday-Friday, evening and weekend working on a 5 out of 7 days per week contract (25 hours per week). The weekly shift-pattern consists of straight-shifts only, no split-shifts

About you

The successful candidate will have experience of providing an excellent standard of customer service in a customer focussed environment. Previous experience of working in the Hospitality industry would be an advantage. You should be a good team worker and be able to be calm and professional in high pressure situations, as it can be extremely busy during peak times.
