Food and Beverage Supervisor

We’re looking for a Food and Beverage Supervisor to join our Hotel Services team based at The Christie Private Care in Manchester​.

Above all else, we’re committed to the care and improvement of human life. It’s this guiding vision that influences everything we do at HCA UK. From the CEO to the colleagues on the floor we all have a part to play in delivering exceptional care to our patients. Other’s may think this is just a role in Catering but to us, you’ll be part of a wider team with a unique sense of purpose, one that helps improve lives on a daily basis.
