Team Leader
Gatwick
Monday to Friday and alternative weekends 7am - 3:30pm
£14.00 per hour
The role:
We have an exciting opportunity for a Team Leader to join us at our busy and vibrant restaurant based at Gatwick Airport.
Taking day to day responsibility for the front of house team, you will have the opportunity to share your passion and enthusiasm to deliver great food to our customers. You will:
- Lead the front of house team to deliver an exceptional service to our customers
- Monitor the service and our food offering so that it constantly exceeds customers’ expectations

- Be the face of Blue Apple by providing a welcoming and friendly atmosphere
- Recruit, coach and develop team members
- Support the kitchen team with food preparation and other duties
The benefits:
We offer a competitive salary, company pension scheme, life insurance and a great holiday entitlement. We also believe in the importance of a healthy work-home life balance for our teams and only work with clients who share that vision; this role benefits from offering a sociable hour working week which allows you to easily manage your work-life balance, allowing you to plan and enjoy your lifestyle outside of the kitchen. We offer an excellent team reward and recognition programme, partnering with a leadership coach to ensure our team has personal development plans and you will also benefit from a mentoring program run by our talented Chef Director so that you can continue to develop your skillset.
The company:
Blue Apple is an experienced independent contract caterer specialising in bringing a bespoke and tailored solution to our clients. We have a diverse range of customers and pride ourselves on delivering fresh food solutions created by happy teams.
We exist to deliver the exact offer each client wants – from really simple sarnies and classic favourites in our Cafés, to high end hospitality including stunning fine dining and canape events. Individuality is key though and we encourage our chefs to be creative with their menus and promotions to really make their food offer stand out! Quite simply, food is our passion!
What we’re looking for:
Previous experience of being a team leader in a large contract catering or hospitality venue will be essential. You will be an experienced and capable team manager with knowledge of the industry. Use of relevant IT systems will be a given. Most of all your skill and passion for food will be evident, matched by your desire to deliver exceptional standards.
Security checks will be required for position.
Our commitment to diversity:
We value our diverse team and are fully committed to recruiting based on meeting the criteria for the role. We will not discriminate in our recruitment or employment practises.
