Job Description

:

As a Food Services Assistant, one day you might be helping out in the bakery, or if you work in one of our stores with a caf\xc3\xa9 or hot food counter, you could be serving coffees or preparing pizzas. Either way, you\'ll be tuned in to what our customers want and make sure they\'re receiving an experience that will really wow them. From helpful advice, to chatting about their day - by being yourself and offering a personalised service wherever possible, you\'ll ensure every customer walks away with the intention of coming back.

You don\'t need to bring any previous food or retail experience - because we\'ll teach you everything you need to know.

What matters is that you have a passion for food and you\'re prepared to do the right thing for our customers. Whilst not essential, the more you know about technology and the stronger your nose for sales, the better you\'ll be at getting people excited about our products.
