We are currently looking for a Food Preparation assistant and juice and smoothie maker to join our dynamic team at our production unit working for NAMA Foods. We specialise in raw vegan food and cold pressed juices and smoothies with the aim of consistently delivering cutting edge cuisine and a multi sensory dining experience for our customers.
As our food preparation assistant and drinks maker you will be responsible for creating food elements for the sweet and savoury menu and producing and bottling our high quality cold pressed juices and super food smoothies, and will work alongside a team of experienced and passionate raw chefs at our bustling production unit in NW10 (Park Royal). You will be producing raw food and drinks for our raw vegan restaurant based in Notting Hill.
