About this role
Our kitchen only works well when it’s clean, organised and ready for the day.

You don’t need loads of experience. What matters most is that you’re reliable, happy to get stuck in and take real pride in keeping things clean and in order.

What you’ll do
Keep the kitchen spotless
Clean and sanitise work surfaces, floors, sinks, equipment and utensils throughout the day so the kitchen stays safe and ready to use.
Look after equipment
Clean kitchen equipment properly, follow the correct cleaning procedures and help make sure everything is stored safely and where it should be.
Keep things organised
Make sure the kitchen is tidy, stock is stored correctly and work areas stay clear and organised throughout the shift.
Support the prep team
If you have time outside of cleaning, you can help with basic food prep, washing and preparing ingredients, and getting the kitchen set up for the day.
Stay on top of cleaning
Work through cleaning checklists, spot jobs that need doing and take action rather than waiting to be asked.
Keep food and people safe
Follow food safety, allergen, hygiene and health & safety procedures carefully at all times.
Jump in when it gets busy
Support the wider kitchen and restaurant team wherever needed, especially during busy periods.

You notice when something needs doing and get on with it
•
You don’t mind getting stuck into the less glamorous jobs

A little about experience
You don’t need previous kitchen experience, we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
What matters most is that you’re willing to learn, comfortable with physical and hands-on work, and genuinely take pride in keeping the kitchen clean, safe and organised.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
