Things to Consider

• Although the role will be based at Garforth, there will also be the expectation and opportunity to work at the other venues and events we cater for such as The Great Yorkshire Show, as well as the 8 racecourses we work with. • Please apply for the role as soon as possible, we are interviewing suitable candidates as and when we receive applications. Therefore, the role may close before the advertised closing date. • This role will require travel to event locations – therefore access to a car is highly advantageous.
