Make a difference as a Catering Team Leader

Our catering team is responsible for the essential job of keeping our guests and colleagues fuelled and hydrated, ready for the adventure that awaits them!

Reporting to the Front of House Manager, you’ll be leading a team of Catering Assistants to ensure the dining room is clean and inviting, the food tasty and appealing, and our guests happy and well looked after.

You’ll need great interpersonal skills to connect with our guests, leadership ability to inspire and lead your team, and confidence to handle complex dietary & allergen requirements and maintain excellent food safety standards and procedures.

We’re looking for individuals with three or more months experience within a catering role and a level 3 or above qualification in Food Safety. Experience of working with young people and supervising a team is a bonus, but not essential for this position.

Above all, it’s our core values of FUN, SAFETY, QUALITY, INCLUSIVITY, TEAMWORK and RESPECT that unite us.

No matter your background, ethnicity, sexuality/gender identity, SEND, neurodivergence or anything else… PGL is a place to be yourself, have fun, use your valuable skills for good and celebrate what makes you brilliantly unique.

Fair pay and benefits for all

• On top of your 20 days annual leave (+ 8 bank holidays), you’ll also enjoy your birthday off, have paid volunteering days to help worthwhile causes and the option to purchase additional holiday.
  
• A career with ongoing growth, aided development, mentoring, multiple pathways and opportunities to work across different UK or French locations.
  
• 24/7 access to our Wellbeing Hub alongside our Employee Assistance Program
  
• Sector leading family friendly policies and a contributory pension
  
• Access to our financial wellbeing platform where you can borrow or save directly from your salary.
  
• Free/discounted PGL breaks for your family & discounts at 800+ retailers.

We hire the best talent and value a diverse, inclusive team; so, we are dedicated to ensuring our application process is accessible to everyone and are happy to provide helpful adjustments to make it easier to complete. Simply email or call us with detail around the adjustments you need. However, our top priority is the safety of the guests on our centres. Therefore, all centre based employees and some specific Head Office employees must undergo an Enhanced criminal record check (known as DBS or PVG), which we pay for. You will need to provide a 5-year address history and ID (such as passport/birth certificate). Convictions related to violence, drugs, or safeguarding may affect your application. Not all convictions will disqualify you, as we assess each case individually.
