Catering Assistant

The catering assistant helps out in the kitchen and is responsible for hygiene and cleanliness within food preparation areas. Catering assistants are also responsible for carrying out basic food preparation tasks, such as washing and peeling food. They are also likely to organise the store room, as well as being responsible for unloading deliveries from suppliers. They will also collect and dispose of waste. It is not unusual for a catering assistant to clean and cut up meat, fish and vegetables, as well as operate machinery.

It is important that catering assistants are good communicators, not only to succeed in their contact with customers but also their co-workers. They must also be able to operate as part of a team, as they are likely to have to work alongside chefs, waitresses, and restaurant managers.
