Catering Assistant Jobs in the UK, France, Spain

Your first step into the world of catering...

The role of Catering Assistant is your first step on the ladder. Your lack of experience won’t matter because with hard work, dedication, and a willingness to learn being a Catering Assistant with PGL is a perfect chance to progress on our Apprenticeship programme and achieve your catering dreams.

To work in a kitchen environment you need a passion and a pride in what you’re doing – in everything from pot washing to serving food to guests, and from cleaning work surfaces to preparing fresh salads. The details matter. You’ll work with a team of like-minded people who care about delivering the very best dining experience for our guests and they’ll help support you in achieving the high standards of customer service required in a PGL kitchen.

Many of our Head Chefs joined us in the Catering Assistant role and have progressed to take charge. The proof really is in the pudding!

• A willingness to learn.

Key Responsibilities

You'll assist the Chefs in preparing balanced, wholesome meals that fuel our guests and staff for their day of activities. This is a varied role that includes assisting with food preparation, serving from our canteen bays and ensuring the kitchen and dining areas are kept clean, tidy and adhere to our health and safety standards.

Part of your working week will involve a combination of breakfast, lunch and evening meal shifts. You may have the chance to try your centre's activities during your free time, building up your competency in the process. You may also participate in evening entertainments for our guests.
