Food and Beverage Assistants

The Burn is a 20-bedroom Mansion House, Listed Grade B belonging to Goodenough College. The estate consists of a beautiful woodland oasis, with the spectacular North Esk river running through a natural landscape. Although it operates mainly as an academic retreat for mostly international and Scottish university post-graduates, it is also hired out for private, family celebrations and offered as holiday accommodation.

The Burn is seeking two Food and Beverage Assistants who will work with the front of house and the kitchen teams assisting in setting up breakfast and lunch service.

These are varied, customer-facing, sleeves-rolled-up roles, working across all areas of food and beverage service. The roles involve serving food, helping in pot wash, and setting up for service over breakfast and lunch on weekdays (other shifts may be available in evenings and weekends). Some knowledge of food safety would be advantageous although all necessary training will be given. You should be happy in a front of house role, meeting and greeting guests/diners who may be experiencing their first ever visit to Scotland.
