ABout this job
The Kitchen Assistant will play an important role in supporting the smooth running of our café and catering operation. Working closely with the Chef and Bar & Catering Manager, you will help prepare ingredients, assist with food service, maintain high hygiene standards, and ensure the kitchen is clean, safe and well-organised.
This is a hands-on role within a busy, creative environment, and will suit someone who enjoys working as part of a team, takes pride in high standards, and is flexible to the needs of a growing hospitality business.
Is this job for you?
We’re looking for someone who is reliable, hardworking and enjoys being part of a busy kitchen team. You don’t need to be an experienced chef, but you should have some experience working in a kitchen or catering environment and be eager to learn new skills.
If you take pride in keeping things clean and organised, can follow instructions carefully, and enjoy working with food and people, this could be the perfect role for you. You’ll need to be flexible, willing to get stuck in, and happy to work evenings and weekends as part of our growing café and events operation.
