A few things about you
This is a customer facing role so it’s important to have a positive, friendly attitude. You will work as part of a team and will need to have strong communication skills.  
 
Experience working in a similar industry (i.e. food service, catering or hospitality) would be great but generally customer service and food handling experience will tick the box!  

If you have previous experience working in a cleaning team that would be great! But if you have customer service experience and good attention to detail we still want to hear from you!

A general knowledge of health and safety procedures is also required, with knowledge of basic food hygiene and cleaning.
