We’re on the lookout for enthusiastic and experienced staff to join our fun, fast-paced catering team at The Italian Job Catering! This is the perfect second job to fit around your current work—most shifts are casual and scheduled about a month in advance, weekdays but mostly Friday & Saturday.

- A positive, can-do attitude and a passion for hospitality

- You might be required to drive a trailer, so previous experience or willingness to learn is required.
- Confident English communication skills.
- Your own car is a MUST (travel is required, and we pay for travel time at the same rate!). Public transport isn’t an option as most venues are in remote areas.
- Reliability and flexibility for weekend shifts (we give 20-30 days notice for shifts & you can choose when you are available).
- We’re ideally looking for long-term team members who can navigate the busy and quiet periods of the event season. Long-term opportunities are available and encouraged. What You’ll Be Doing:
- Cooking food at events for groups from 40-120 guests (canapes + mains)
- Setting up and packing down event & food equipment.
- Keeping the workspace clean and organised throughout the event.
