Who We Are
At Olive Dining, we believe great food brings people together — and there’s no better place to do that than in schools, where young minds are growing every day. We’re a dedicated school catering company serving fresh, nutritious meals to students across London, Kent, Surrey, and Essex. Now, we’re on the lookout for a Catering Assistant who can help us make every school day mealtime something special. If you’re passionate about food, love working in a team, and thrive in a fast-paced environment with purpose — this could be the perfect role for you.
Why You'll Love Working With Us
- Family-Friendly Hours: Term time only, so you can enjoy school holidays too!
- Weekends Off: Yes, really Monday to Friday.
- Supportive Team Culture: You're never just a number here.
- Free Meals on Duty: Because you should never work hungry.
- Wellbeing First: Access to an Employee Assistance Programme including free CBT, health, and financial support.
- Room to Grow: We believe in promoting from within and helping our people thrive.
Your Day-to-Day
- As our Catering Assistant, you’ll be part of the front-line team that turns good ingredients into great meals and happy faces.
- Washing up crockery, utensils, and kitchen equipment using our trusty dishwashing machines (and occasionally, old-fashioned elbow grease).
- Serving meals to students and staff with a smile (and maybe a little friendly banter).
- Helping the team with basic food preparation (chopping, peeling, mixing, plating, and garnishing.– nothing too scary).
- Assisting with deliveries — unpacking stock and storing it in the right places.
- Making sure the service area is clean, tidy, and well-stocked during lunch.
- Helping to set up and clear down before and after service.
- Washing dishes, utensils, and equipment — making them ready for their next big performance.
- Following food hygiene and safety standards at all times.
- Supporting the team wherever needed to keep service running smoothly.
- And the completion of any other reasonable requests given by your manager
What You’ll Need
- At good energy — mealtimes can be busy, and we need you to keep pace.
- Attention to detail — whether it's a neat presentation or the correct allergen labelling.
- Great communication skills – with both adults and young people.
- Reliability and good timekeeping.
- Catering experience is helpful but not essential — enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are just as important.
