Waiter / Waitress

At Bupa, we provide support when it's needed most. Richmond Villages, our retirement village provider, offers person-centred care that supports independence and respects individual choice, enabling residents to live their best lives.

We are in search of a welcoming Waiter / Waitress to guarantee an outstanding dining experience, encompassing everything from setting up the service area to welcoming guests in our restaurant.

New team members can expect a comprehensive induction to ease into their roles, with continuous training and development opportunities, including apprenticeships.

Additionally, team members have access to our online portal, which offers various resources for personal development and complimentary access to LinkedIn's online learning platform.

You'll help us make health happen by:

• Setting up tables in the restaurant and café


• Serving in the restaurant and café at mealtimes


• Preparing trays and providing room service to village residents who wish to stay in their rooms for meals


• Serving drinks at the bar as required (only applicable to applicants over 18 years old)


• Ensuring that the restaurant and café are tidy and meet all high standards


• Keeping the kitchen area clean and tidy at all times


• You may also be asked to support other areas as required, such as serving meals to or removing trays from resident's rooms, restocking resident's personal kitchens or delivering refreshments to other locations in the village.
  
  You are a person who cares deeply for others and is driven to make a significant impact on people's lives. With your background in customer service, and potentially some experience in catering or kitchen roles-though not essential as training is provided-you excel in communication. You thrive in a tight-knit team setting, engaging with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Committed to providing outstanding service to our residents, you apply your expertise in keeping the environment clean, orderly, safe, and hygienic.
  
  We're a health insurer and provider. With no shareholders, our customers are our focus. Our people are all driven by the same purpose - helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. We make health happen by being brave, caring and responsible in everything we do.


We encourage all of our people to "Be you at Bupa", we champion diversity, and we understand the importance of our people representing the communities and customers we serve. That's why we especially encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
