Many assignments, such as dishwashing or kitchen assistance, are accessible without a diploma. Professional attire is sometimes required. Temporary work allows you to multiply your experience in a variety of establishments—restaurants, hotels, caterers, or institutional catering—and quickly build up your CV. Remuneration is supplemented by end-of-assignment and paid leave allowances, and extra shifts allow you to work according to your availability. Yes, school canteens, corporate cafeterias, and healthcare facilities regularly recruit temporary staff, particularly for cook, kitchen assistant, or catering worker positions. These assignments often offer more regular hours than traditional commercial catering. Yes, several jobs in the sector are open to beginners: kitchen porter, kitchen assistant, multi-skilled catering worker, housekeeping staff. These positions are an ideal entry point to learn the trade on the job before moving on to commis chef, server, or cook roles. The employment agency offers you assignments that match your skills and availability: extra help for an event, replacements, or tourist seasons. You are an employee of the agency, which manages your contract and payroll. Assignments range from a few hours as an extra to several months for a full season. ![Deux personnages stylisés dessinés au trait noir consultent ensemble des informations sur un écran.](https://www.actualgroup.com/_ipx/w_640&f_webp&q_75/https://natural-captain-d84c893901.media.strapiapp.com/FAQ_Illu_Black_92e27a3e9b.png) ## **Meet us in agency** **600+ Actual agencies at your service to guide you in your search:** ![Experts Actual en agence](https://www.actualgroup.com/_ipx/w_2560&f_webp&q_75/https://natural-captain-d84c893901.media.strapiapp.com/Illu_1_B_1_69a9e834db.png) **Not at a distance** ## **By your side** ![Pictogramme représentant une personne exclue et isolée à l'écart de deux groupes de collègues.](https://www.actualgroup.com/_ipx/w_144&f_webp&q_75/https://natural-captain-d84c893901.media.strapiapp.com/Group_1000006248_Vectorized_31f5d7c595.svg) ### **Get trained with Actual** Develop your skills with our training pathways.
