Food Service Assistant Apprentice

This role supports the delivery of high‑quality food and beverage services at a secure defence site in Bristol. As a Food Service Assistant, you will help ensure customers receive excellent service, food is prepared and presented to a high standard, and all areas remain clean, safe and well‑organised. You will work as part of a friendly and supportive team, contributing to the smooth running of daily operations. This is a sociable, Monday-Friday role with no evening or weekend work.

Duties include:

• Serving food and drinks to customers
• Preparing food and supporting hospitality service
• Operating the till and handling payments
• Maintaining cleanliness across service, dining and back‑of‑house areas
• Assisting with deliveries, including unloading and storing stock correctly
• Supporting other departments as required to ensure smooth daily operations
• Following food hygiene, health and safety and company procedures at all times
• Contributing to a clean, organised and efficient working environment
• Complying with secure‑site rules, including ID checks and controlled access procedures
