Love working with food but fed up with evenings, weekends and unsociable hours?
We're recruiting for a Catering Assistant / Cook to join a friendly and welcoming workplace catering team in Loughborough.
This is a lovely opportunity for someone who enjoys preparing and cooking food but would prefer a better work-life balance. You'll be working in a pleasant, supportive environment with regular daytime hours, no evenings, no weekends and Christmas off!
You don't need to be a qualified chef. We're simply looking for someone who has some previous experience working with food, enjoys cooking and is happy to get stuck in with all aspects of a busy kitchen.
Whether you're currently working in a café, pub, restaurant, school kitchen or another catering environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Preparing and cooking breakfasts, lunches, hot meals and snacks
-
Helping with the preparation of fresh ingredients and daily menus
-
Supporting the kitchen team during busy service periods
-
Serving food and assisting customers when required
-
Making sure food is prepared and presented to a good standard
-
Keeping the kitchen clean, tidy and organised
-
Following food hygiene, safety and allergen procedures
-
Helping out wherever needed to keep the catering operation running smoothly
What are we looking for?
We're not looking for a qualified chef or someone with years of experience, but some previous hands-on cooking or food preparation experience would be ideal.
You'll need to be:
-
Comfortable preparing and cooking simple meals
-
Happy working as part of a small, friendly team
-
Reliable, hardworking and willing to get involved
-
Someone who takes pride in preparing good-quality food
-
Able to work in a busy kitchen environment
-
Friendly, approachable and happy to help with food service

No evenings or weekends!
