  • You're self-motivated, take initiative, and have a passion for learning and achieving goals while effectively motivating others.
Why Join the Aspens Family?

Great Work-Life Balance:

You'll work Monday to Friday during school term time - that means no late nights, no weekends and no working at Christmas!
  • 25 hours per week
  • 38 weeks per year - what will you do with all that time off?
  • £14 per hour
Career Growth and Development:
  • Join a fast-growing, ambitious company. We have no ceiling in terms of where you can take your career in catering.
  • Benefit from a dedicated Learning & Development team offering apprenticeship and training courses to help you constantly develop your skills.
