Be Part of Something More Than a Meal Service

Great food brings people together.

At LVS Ascot, our catering team plays an important part in creating a happy, welcoming school environment. Every meal we prepare, every student we greet and every service we deliver is an opportunity to make someone's day that little bit better.

We're looking for a Food Service Assistant to join our friendly Sodexo team and help us create memorable mealtimes for our students, staff and visitors.

This is more than simply serving food. It's about bringing warmth, care and positive energy to the school day and being part of a team that takes real pride in what it does.

And if you're looking for a hospitality role that gives you your evenings and weekends back, the Monday-to-Friday daytime hours could offer a great fit.

Whether you're experienced in catering or looking for an opportunity to learn something new, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

As one of the friendly faces of our catering team, you'll help make every service feel welcoming, organised and enjoyable.

You'll be:

• Preparing and serving fresh, high-quality food with care
• Making sure our food is attractively presented and served to a high standard
• Helping with basic food preparation and day-to-day kitchen activities
• Welcoming students, staff and visitors with friendly and professional service
• Keeping our kitchen, dining and service areas clean, safe and inviting
• Supporting deliveries, stock storage and stock rotation
• Helping with school events, hospitality and special occasions when required
• Supporting portion control and helping us reduce food waste
• Working alongside your colleagues to keep each service running smoothly
• Sharing ideas and helping us make the dining experience even better

Most importantly, you'll bring your personality to the role and help create an environment where people feel welcome.

We'd Love to Hear From You If...

You enjoy working with people, take pride in doing a good job and like being part of a team where everyone contributes.

You don't necessarily need years of catering experience. Your attitude and willingness to learn are just as important to us.

You'll ideally bring:

• A warm, friendly and positive approach
• A genuine desire to provide great service
• Good communication and teamwork skills
• Reliability and a willingness to get involved
• Good organisation and attention to detail
• The confidence to work in a busy environment
• Pride in maintaining high standards of cleanliness and food safety

Previous experience within catering, hospitality or food service would be helpful, but it isn't essential.

A Food Hygiene Certificate would be advantageous, but if you don't already have one, training can be provided.

Why Join Sodexo at LVS Ascot?

Because your work matters here.

You'll be joining a supportive team in a vibrant school environment where you'll have the opportunity to build relationships, learn new skills and see the difference your work makes every day.

What You'll Enjoy

• £13.15 per hour
• 27.5 hours per week
• Monday-to-Friday daytime working
• 8:30am to 2:30pm
• Full training and ongoing support
• Opportunities to learn, develop and build your skills
• A welcoming and inclusive workplace
• Working as part of a friendly, supportive catering team
• The opportunity to make a positive difference to students' daily experience
• A beautiful school environment in Ascot
• Being part of Sodexo, with the opportunities that come from joining a global organisation

For someone who loves hospitality but wants a role that can offer daytime, weekday hours, this could be a fantastic opportunity to find a better balance while continuing to do work you enjoy.

Bring Your Personality. We'll Help With the Rest.

Perhaps you've worked in a café, restaurant, hotel, kitchen or another school.

Perhaps you're returning to work, looking for a change or ready to take your first step into catering.

Whatever your journey, if you're friendly, dependable and care about giving people a great experience, we'd like to hear from you.

Come and bring your energy, personality and enthusiasm to our team.
