We are currently seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our team as a food and beverage/client services coordinator.  This is a permanent full-time position working 07:30 am to 04:00 pm Monday to Friday.  In this role, you will have the opportunity to excel in providing exceptional food service for all client and internal functions while being part of our collaborative and supportive work environment.  We are dedicated to creating a work environment that prioritises work-life balance, fosters career development, and enables you to perform at your best and be rewarded for the incredible work that you do each day.  

The role

This is a dynamic role where no two days are the same.  As the food and beverage/client services coordinator, you'll be responsible for a range of hands-on tasks including preparing food for meetings and functions, sandwich making, canapé preparation, and baking for client meetings.  You will also assist the client experience team in the delivery and clearing of food to and from meeting rooms and events and maintain a seamless beverage service between the kitchen and front-of-house teams. 

You will also ensure strict adherence to industry food safety standards, prioritising the well-being of our clients and staff.  You will also be responsible for the maintenance of coffee machines, kitchen cleanliness, restocking of supplies, managing the food and beverage budget, required records management and administration, ordering, and invoicing. 

What matters to us

We value people who bring a different perspective, who are passionate, curious, and innovative.  To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

  • Previous experience, whether part-time or full-time, in a similar food service role is preferred.  If you have basic cooking skills that would be desirable but is not essential
  • A keen interest in developing a career in hospitality, ideally with qualifications to substantiate your interest (eg studying towards being a Chef)
  • Strong attention to detail and adherence to food safety and hygiene standards
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, contributing to a positive and supportive team environment
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills effectively enabling teamwork
  • Exceptional organizational skills to manage multiple tasks and prioritise accordingly
  • Flexibility to handle changing priorities and meet deadlines
  • Proficiency in basic administrative tasks and budget management, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow
  • A positive 'can do' attitude where you go above and beyond the normal call of duty.

We look forward to you joining our team and being part of our success.

Together we grow, Ka tipu tahi tatau.

Pros and cons of working at Buddle Findlay

Pros

  • The range and challenge of work. I get to work on something different every day, and feel as if the work I do can actually help people and change things for the better.

  • The sheer amount of opportunities provided - not only in terms of multiple weekly legal training, but diversity and inclusion and social committees as well as external training e.g. resilience training. 2. He aha te mea nui o te ao (What is the most important thing in the world?) He tangata, he tangata, he tangata (It is the people, it is the people, it is the people). The people make up the culture at Buddle Findlay and everyone is willing to help you along your journey.

  • Great community/network of people that are kind, caring, professional and knowledgeable.

  • The firm has a great culture with kind and supportive people. We have a buddy system for summer clerks and law clerks which is very helpful and fosters a very nurturing work environment due to the availability of the buddy to answer questions and help you learn the ropes. We also get to rotate through teams as summer clerks and law clerks which enables you to get a taste of what different practice areas do and helps you to work out what type of law you are interested in and what team you want to end up in. We have heaps of great social events, great development opportunities and the technology of the firm is exceptional.

Cons

    • Doing challenging, interesting work in a team of high performers can be stressful, and it is easy for imposter syndrome to kick in. This job can be demanding.

    • Given it is a big law firm, sometimes it takes time to get to know everyone, especially if you are on different floors.

    • While pay is market rate for law graduates, my knowledge of what other people my age are getting paid in similar (non-law) graduate roles does make it feel as though law graduates start off with relatively low salaries, however I understand that this will climb quickly.
