What will you be doing as Catering Team Member?

Our catering team members cover a wide range of customer-facing duties throughout the hostel, delivering an excellent service to all guests and visitors so they have a great experience at YHA.

This role concentrates predominantly on the catering aspects of our hostel, but you may be asked to assist in other hostel departments. Here are some of the things you may be working on:

  • Complying with all food hygiene standards in the storage, preparation, and delivery of food.
  • Complying with health and safety regulations, ensuring all kitchen checks are completed accurately and on time

What Skills and Experience do you need to be a Catering Team Member?

It’s an advantage but not essential that our catering team members have worked in a face-to-face role with customers previously. Experience** in hospitality or customer service is desirable but not essential.

Good communication skills are an advantage whilst excellent time keeping is essential.
