Food Services Assistant

Job description

Love food and preparing great quality products for customers? As a Food Services Assistant you’ll be doing exactly that! One day you might be helping out in the bakery, or if you work in one of our stores with a café or hot food counter, you could be serving coffees or preparing pizzas. Either way, you’ll be tuned in to what our customers want and make sure they’re receiving an experience that will really keep them coming back.  

You don’t need to bring any previous food or retail experience because we’ll teach you everything you need to know.  What matters is that you have a passion for food and delivering exceptional customer service. Whilst not essential, an understanding of technology and sales, will help get customers  excited about our products.

We aim to make everyone who joins us be the best they can be and are committed to being a fully inclusive retailer where our customers love to shop, and our colleagues love to work! 

 If the shifts for this role cover hours earlier than 6am or later than 11pm, you will need to be at least 18 years of age.

 Sainsbury's will only recruit individuals who have passed the school leaver’s age.  To find out the school leavers age for your country please visit: https://www.gov.uk/know-when-you-can-leave-school
