Be Part of Something More Than a Meal Service

At LVS Ascot, great food and excellent service play an important part in creating a positive experience for our students, staff and visitors.

We’re looking for a Food Service Assistant to join our welcoming Sodexo catering team and help us deliver high-quality food and exceptional service within a vibrant school environment.

This is an opportunity to become part of a supportive team where professionalism, teamwork and pride in great service are genuinely valued. With a Monday-to-Friday daytime working pattern, it’s also a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a role that offers a great balance alongside other commitments.

Whether you already have experience in catering and hospitality or are looking to develop your skills in a new environment, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Food Service Assistant, you’ll play an important role in creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the preparation and service of fresh, high-quality food
• Ensuring food is attractively presented and served to the required standards
• Assisting with basic food preparation and day-to-day kitchen operations
• Providing friendly, professional service to students, staff and visitors
• Maintaining excellent standards of cleanliness, food safety and hygiene
• Receiving deliveries and ensuring stock is stored and rotated correctly
• Supporting school events, hospitality functions and special occasions when required
• Assisting with portion control and helping to minimise food waste
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to ensure a smooth and efficient service
• Contributing ideas that help us continually improve the dining experience

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys being part of a team and is passionate about providing a great service.

You’ll ideally bring:

• A positive, professional and approachable attitude
• Strong communication and customer service skills
• Good organisation and attention to detail
• The ability to work effectively in a busy environment
• A reliable and flexible approach
• A commitment to maintaining high standards of food safety, hygiene and customer care

Previous experience within catering, hospitality or food service would be advantageous, but it isn’t essential. What matters most is your attitude, reliability and willingness to learn.

A Food Hygiene Certificate would be beneficial, although full training can be provided.
