Cleaner / Food Service Assistant

Prestwick - Full time

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable and flexible Cleaner / Food Service Assistant to join our team in Prestwick.

This is a varied, hands-on role combining both cleaning and catering duties. One part of your shift could involve maintaining offices and communal areas to a high standard, while another could see you preparing food, serving customers or supporting the catering team.

We're looking for someone who is happy to get involved across both cleaning and food service, takes pride in maintaining high standards and enjoys being part of a team.

What you'll do:

Cleaning

• Clean and maintain offices, communal areas, welfare facilities, toilets and washrooms.
• Sweep, mop, vacuum and maintain floors to a high standard.
• Clean and sanitise furniture, fixtures, fittings and high-contact surfaces.
• Complete scheduled, periodic and deep-cleaning activities as required.
• Use cleaning chemicals and equipment safely and in accordance with COSHH requirements.
• Ensure appropriate safety signage is used while cleaning.
• Monitor cleaning supplies and report when stock needs replenishing.
• Report any damage, defects or maintenance concerns identified during your shift.
• Help maintain a clean, safe and welcoming environment across the site.
  Catering & Food Service
• Assist with the preparation and presentation of food and beverages.
• Prepare sandwiches and salads and support hot-counter set-up.
• Serve food, tea, coffee and refreshments to customers.
• Provide friendly and professional customer service.
• Set up, replenish and maintain counters, chillers and service areas.
• Operate the till when required.
• Check deliveries and complete food temperature checks and records.
• Keep tables, counters and catering areas clean, tidy and well stocked.
• Wash pots, pans, crockery, cutlery and catering equipment.
• Clean and replenish vending machines where required.
• Follow all relevant Food Safety and hygiene procedures.

Health & Safety

• Whichever area you're supporting, safety comes first. You'll:
• Follow all Health & Safety, Food Safety, COSHH, Fire Safety and Safe Systems of Work.
• Use equipment and cleaning products safely and correctly.
• Maintain high standards of personal hygiene and wear the required uniform and PPE.
• Report hazards, accidents, incidents and near misses promptly.
• Follow all site security and operational procedures.

What you'll bring:

• A positive, reliable and professional approach.
• A genuine willingness to work across both cleaning and catering.
• Great customer service and communication skills.
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Good attention to detail and pride in maintaining high standards.
• An understanding of the importance of hygiene, Health & Safety and safe working practices.
• The ability to follow cleaning schedules, instructions and procedures.
• A flexible approach and willingness to support different areas when required.
• The ability to work effectively in a busy operational environment.
• A willingness to learn and complete relevant training.

Previous commercial or industrial cleaning experience would be advantageous.

Previous catering, food service or hospitality experience would also be beneficial, along with knowledge of Food Safety, COSHH or commercial cleaning equipment.

A little bit of everything

This role would be ideal for someone who enjoys variety and doesn't want to do exactly the same thing every day.

You might be cleaning and preparing an area in the morning, helping with food preparation before service, serving customers at lunchtime and then helping get everything clean and ready for the next day.

What matters most is that you're happy to get involved, work as part of the team and deliver a great service wherever you're needed.

If you're flexible, hardworking and enjoy a varied role working with both people and food, we'd love to hear from you.
