Here at More Leisure Community Trust our goal is to get more people, more active, more often. We provide affordable access to a wide range of sports and leisure facilities to support healthier and happier people across all segments of the local community. To deliver those services takes an enthusiastic and customer focused team - and right now we are looking to recruit for a Cafe Assistant to join the centre.
As the Cafe Assistant, you will work within the catering team to achieve high standards of service and customer care at all times. You will ensure the food is hygienically prepared and served in accordance with standard laid down by the catering supervisor. You will also make sure that customers are served promptly and efficiently and ensure that financial and cash handling procedures are complied with, as well as cleaning the catering area, pot washing and setting up food, so some food handling are also requirements of the role.
We share your passion for leisure, and we will offer a safe, fun, and professional working environment with excellent development opportunities. You will also receive free gym membership for yourself and other excellent discounts.
Serco manages these facilities on a day-to-day basis on behalf of the Trust.
About you
The successful candidate will be a passionate and enthusiastic individual who like the members of staff at Water Meadows pride and strive to give the best service possible for those who visit the centre and go the extra mile for customers when required.
Level 2 in food safety is desirable as is previous experience in a customer facing environment, however full training will be provided.
If you feel like you meet the above criteria and want to work in a challenging and varied role, please apply today.
