Job Description

Are you a hands-on leader who loves being part of a busy, family-focused environment?

Our client is looking for a Catering Team Leader to oversee daily operations, lead the team, and make sure every guest has a fantastic experience.

This role comes with family-friendly hours, Monday to Friday, 9.00am - 5.00pm, with alternative weekends and no evenings - giving you a great work-life balance while leading a fun, energetic team.

As our Team Leader, you'll be at the heart of everything that happens each day. From keeping the catering running smoothly to making sure little visitors have a safe and enjoyable time, you'll guide your team with energy, care and a playful spirit.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Leading and motivating a friendly catering team.
  • Making sure the catering runs efficiently, including stock, sales and team schedules.
  • Keeping everyone safe with strong health, safety and food hygiene standards.
  • Supporting your team with training, development and ongoing guidance.
  • Using guest feedback to make our menus, products and experiences even better.
  • Helping with seasonal events, parties and busy days.
  • Handling guest questions and concerns in a friendly, confident way.

Who They're Looking For:

  • Experience leading a team in catering, food service, or a similar environment.
  • A natural leader who enjoys coaching, supporting and inspiring others.
  • Someone organised and confident who can manage a busy environment with a smile.
  • Knowledge of food hygiene and health & safety practices.
  • Positive, adaptable, and approachable, with a genuine love for creating great experiences for families.
  • Experience in visitor attractions or leisure environments is a bonus, but not essential.

If you love leading a team, delivering great guest experiences, and being part of a lively, family-friendly environment, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and bring your energy, leadership, and playful spirit to this fun role!
