Catering Assistant

Wrap n Rolla; London; On-site; GBP 60,000 - 80,000; Part time

Job description

Summer job - Festival & Event catering staff. We are a fun festival & event catering company called Wrap N Rolla, making jerk chicken wrap and loaded fries. I'm looking for catering (chefs & cooks) team members to join us at some of the biggest music festivals this year, primarily in London and some across the country.

PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE APPLYING - and send a cover letter explaining why you’ll be suitable for this role.

Full job description

With another busy summer brewing at Wrap N Rolla HQ, we are once again on the hunt for a team of budding wrap makers and festival enthusiasts! We are London-based, so being local would be handy; however, it is not a deal breaker, especially if you have your own means of transport.

The role typically consists of your usual customer serving and food handling skills, so previous experience in this area is preferred; however, all the relevant training will be provided. Common sense and a keen eye will take you most of the way!

We cover a range of events up and down the UK from the beginning of May until the start of September. They vary in size and style, but there's generally a little something for everyone! A free pass into a summer of festivals is included; however, you will still get time off to enjoy the events.

Pay is dependent on experience and consequent responsibility, and as an ever-growing business, there is scope for this to evolve as we do. If you think you have what it takes to keep up with the queues and fancy an event-filled summer on the road, then please send us a cover letter and a copy of your CV. We can't wait to hear from you!

Requirements

1. Enthusiastic and positive attitude.
2. Excellent customer service and communication skills.
3. Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic festival environment.
4. Reliable and punctual.
5. Basic math skills for cash handling.

Preferred Qualities

1. Previous experience in a customer service or food service role.
2. Ability to work collaboratively in a team.

Perks

1. Experience the vibrant atmosphere of music festivals.
2. Competitive hourly rate.
3. Opportunity for advancement within the company.

We pay £12.50 per hour. As the job sometimes involves long hours and no real expenses, it is possible to save a lot of money.

Ideally, you can step into a variety of roles on the stall and be adaptable to move positions to where needed. The key positions are:

1. Front of house - including till, expediting, serving. This is fast-paced, think fast food jobs rather than fine dining.
2. Fryer and general back of house - might include frying, prep, washing up, running, etc.

Festivals we have confirmed so far

1. Queensyard, London - 3-5th May
2. Hackney Moves, London - 17-19th May
