A great new opportunity at City College Peterborough – Study Programmes has arisen for a Catering Assistant to join our catering team dedicated to providing a clean, healthy, and friendly environment during lunch service.

You will be committed, clear-sighted, and able to meet challenges head-on, with the ability to identify improved ways of working and to develop these opportunities. You will have a friendly and outgoing personality and will possess the ability to interact with people at all levels. A forward thinker, with a positive "can do", "will do" approach, together with the ability to work with, and motivate others, is essential.
