School Catering Assistant | £12.95ph | Hertfordshire & Essex | Flexible Agency Shifts

If you're looking for flexible work that fits around your life, pays weekly, and doesn't need years of experience to get started, this could be exactly what you're after.

The role

You'll be working across schools, canteens and catering sites in Hertfordshire and Essex, helping keep kitchens and dining areas running smoothly. That means serving food to staff and students, washing up, and lending a hand with basic food prep when needed. It's varied, it's sociable, and every site is a bit different. No two days are the same.

This is agency work, so there's no fixed rota and no obligation to take every shift you're offered. You work when it suits you. A car is essential given the range of locations across both counties, and an Enhanced DBS check is required before you start. We'll walk you through that when you register.

What you get

£12.95 per hour, paid every Friday. Holiday pay is included on top. You're in control of your own schedule, with shifts available across a wide patch covering Hertfordshire and Essex. Our team is local, approachable and easy to get hold of when you need something.
