Priory Hospital Mildmay Oaksis looking to recruit a Catering assistant to join the team. This is a full time role of 37.5 hours.

We also offer adult and child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), and single-person, bespoke therapeutic placements (BTPs) across our hospital.
You’ll be part of a dedicated and compassionate team, all working together to ensure the smooth running of the hospital and to support the wellbeing of our patients. While your role doesn’t involve providing direct care, your contribution is vital in helping to maintain a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for everyone.

The role holder is expected to have basic numeracy and literacy skills, along with an understanding of fundamental food hygiene principles. While previous experience in a catering environment is beneficial, it is not essential, as full training will be provided to ensure the successful candidate is fully equipped for the role.
