You'll liaise with both the catering and care management teams to ensure good communication.

Serving in The Oaks and other social spaces, you'll take care to always be helpful and friendly, help clean the tables after service and adopt a 'clean as you go' work ethic, and fully stock the small kitchens, take fridge temperatures, clean kitchen fridges and keep kitchens clean and tidy.
