Summary
Work with us at Riverford, and join a thriving employee-owned business as a Canteen Team Member…
Be part of a inclusive and friendly canteen team
More than just a veg box….Riverford are mad about organic veg. It’s at the core of everything we do. We love to grow it, pack it into boxes, and deliver it to around 70, 000 homes across the UK every week.
This takes loads of brilliant people – and working here makes you a ‘co-owner’, since Riverford is employee-owned. Success means much more than just profits; we want this to be a place people enjoy coming to work, and a business our co-owners feel proud of!
We offer a bucket load of benefits….33 days holiday pro rata (including bank holidays), 30% off veg boxes and our online shop, generous company pension scheme, annual profit share (at least 10% of all our profits are split equally between all co-owners)
Delivering even greener veg - We’re in the process of swapping diesel vans to electric, with the ambitious goal of being 100% electric vans for low-emission deliveries to our customers!
This role is a Permanent contract, 39 hours per week - Working 5 varying shifts over Sunday to Friday, 7am to 2.30pm or 11am to 7pm, which is inclusive of Bank Holidays.
Location: Wash Barn, Buckfastleigh, Devon, TQ11 0JU.
Pay: £12.65 per hour
What you’ll be doing…
Our canteen provides our busy teams with healthy, fresh, organic meals which Riverford subsidises heavily. This makes it one of our most popular Co-Owner benefits. We serve breakfast & lunch 6 days per week and an early evening meal Sunday-Thursday.
Working as part of a small team you will help to produce and serve tasty meals for breakfast and lunch made with fantastic ingredients sourced from around the farm. Our food is simple, but really tasty.
The work is varied and you will be doing a number of different tasks; veg prep, assisting others create dishes, serving customers, payment handling, keeping the kitchen clean and assisting the Canteen chefs in other tasks.
This is a great opportunity for an enthusiastic and creative person to work in a company where good food is what we’re all about. We are open on Sundays so availability for most of those days is a requirement for the role although we’re closed on Saturdays and Friday is a quiet day.
What You’ll Bring…
Professional and catering experience in a similar establishment preferable
Food Hygiene and/or professional cookery qualification desirable
Good customer service skills
A genuine passion and interest for food and cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients
What We’re Looking For…
Works well under pressure
Bright and personable
Enjoys working as part of a team
Flexible and adaptable
Application Process - We'll be reviewing applications throughout the duration of the advert and may choose to bring the closing date forward; therefore, we'd encourage you to apply at your earliest convenience.
