We are the ones who keep the cogs turning by looking after our amazing volunteer team providing breakfasts, snacks and treats throughout the week as well as supplying refreshments to various ministry receptions and workshops happening around the site throughout the week. We do a lot of walking around the Pencil Factory site with a fair amount of carrying flasks and trays, so a reasonable level of fitness is required for this role.

If you love looking after people and providing the essential tea, coffees and cakes, this is the role for you. You’ll have the opportunity to prepare and cook breakfasts, buffet crudites, cakes and cookies. You will be required to follow UK National food safety standards and guidelines under supervision of the team leader.
