With a diverse mix of daily catering, multiple F&B outlets, and high-volume events, this is a role that offers real variety and hands-on experience across a dynamic operation.

This is not a hotel environment – instead, you’ll be part of a multifaceted hospitality setting with a strong focus on corporate events, high-volume service, and multi-outlet operations.

Due to the nature of the client site, this position offers a range of shift patterns, with approximately 60% Monday-Friday daytime operations and 40% evening and weekend event work.

Working closely with senior leadership, you’ll build your experience across operations, events, and team leadership, gaining valuable exposure to a complex and rewarding hospitality environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the day-to-day running of a busy, multi-outlet F&B operation
  • Assist in delivering high-volume corporate events and functions from set-up through to execution
  • Work across a variety of service styles including general catering, hospitality service, and large-scale events
  • Take a hands-on role during service, ensuring high standards and a smooth guest experience

  • Maintain high standards of food safety, HACCP, and health & safety compliance
  • Support stock control, ordering, and day-to-day operational administration
  • Contribute ideas to improve service standards and enhance the overall offering

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in a supervisory or senior team member role within hospitality, catering, or events
  • Someone ready to take a step up into a broader operations-focused role
  • A strong interest in events, multi-site operations, and high-volume service
  • A hands-on, positive attitude with a willingness to learn and grow
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, varied environment and manage multiple priorities
  • A natural team player who can support and motivate others during busy service periods
  • Passion for hospitality and delivering great customer experiences

What’s on Offer

  • A clear career progression opportunity into operations and events management
  • Exposure to large-scale events, corporate hospitality, and multi-outlet operations
