Be Part of Something More Than a Meal Service

At LVS Ascot, great food and excellent service are an important part of everyday school life. From busy lunch services to evening dining and special events, our catering team plays a vital role in creating a welcoming experience for students, staff and visitors.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and dependable Food Service Assistant to join our Sodexo team and become an important part of our vibrant school community.

This is more than a food service role. It’s an opportunity to work in a professional, supportive environment where teamwork, high standards and pride in great service are genuinely valued.

If you enjoy working with people, thrive in a busy environment and want to be part of a team where your contribution matters, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Food Service Assistant, you’ll help us deliver a consistently high-quality dining experience throughout the day.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the preparation and service of fresh, high-quality food
• Presenting and serving food to excellent standards
• Assisting with basic food preparation and day-to-day kitchen operations
• Providing a warm, professional and welcoming 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
• Assisting with portion control and helping to minimise food waste
• Working closely with colleagues to ensure an efficient and seamless service
• Contributing ideas that help improve standards and enhance the overall dining experience

You’ll be joining a team that takes real pride in what it does, where everyone has a role to play in delivering a service our school community can rely on.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who brings energy, reliability and a genuine commitment to great service.

You’ll ideally have:

• A positive, professional and approachable attitude
• Strong communication and customer service skills
• Good organisation and attention to detail
• The ability to work confidently and efficiently in a busy environment
• A reliable and flexible approach
• A strong team ethic and willingness to support colleagues
• A commitment to excellent standards of food safety, hygiene and customer care

Previous experience within catering, hospitality or food service would be advantageous, but it isn’t essential. If you have the right attitude and enthusiasm to learn, we can support you in developing your skills.

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