Dear Sir/Madam,
Application for a Food Service Assistant
I would like to apply for the role of Food Service Assistant which I have seen advertised in (where) and (when).
I have had previous roles working in a hospital setting where I helped to make the meals on a daily basis which we rotated so that we got to make different things weekly. The dishes we made were varied and healthy but also I was involved in ensuring that dietary requirements were adhered to for health reasons or religion reasons. I enjoyed this variety and the importance of ensuring that the dishes were right and varied for the patients.
I have also done my basic hygiene certificate, please see enclosed with my CV so I understand the importance of ensuring a kitchen is kept clean and germ free and that precautions are taking when working with food to ensure that it is not contaminated at any cost.
I enjoy working in this type of role and would be grateful if you would consider my application.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanking you in advance for reading my CV and letter.
Yours sincerely
NAME SURNAME
Good luck with writing your letter and CV.
