Additional hours and overtime opportunities are frequently available.

Work That Fits Around Your Life

One of the biggest benefits of joining our Relief Catering Team is the flexibility it can offer.

This role is ideal for anyone looking to fit work around their existing commitments. Whether you're a parent, semi-retired, studying, or already working elsewhere, you can let us know when you're available and work shifts that suit both you and the service.

Already have a part-time job and work three days a week? This could be the perfect opportunity to top up your income on the days you're free.

Unlike many school-based positions, you're not restricted to taking annual leave during school holidays. This means you can enjoy the freedom to travel and take breaks throughout the year, often benefiting from quieter destinations and lower travel costs outside peak holiday periods.

If you're looking for a role that offers genuine flexibility, variety and an excellent work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.
