Catering & Hospitality Assistants play a super-important role in the UEA’s ‘The Campus Kitchen’ in providing efficient support for our outlets and delivered hospitality department. This role is for part time work on a university term time only basis. 

Working mainly in our busy hospitality department, but with the potential to work in any of our 14 outlets across campus too, you will assist with preparation and service of delivered catering and events. You will also ensure deliveries are completed correctly and on time, and that large functions and served dinners run smoothly.

You will demonstrate the ability to work hard within a fast-paced environment; consistently demonstrate great customer service; display enthusiasm and have a willingness to support your team. Previous experience of working in a hospitality environment with some barista training or experience is preferred, but not essential. You will be required to work 5 out of 7 days, day, weekend and evening shifts for 20 hours per week, 28 weeks per year (University term time only).
