Food on us during your shift.

The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.

Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.

What you will do...

• Bring delicious flavours to our guests' tables by running a section in our busy kitchen.
• Nurture and develop the talent of the kitchen team, creating an environment that brings out the best in them and where they can be themselves.
• Make sure things are running without a hitch, orders and deliveries are coming and going as needed, our service is smooth as chipotle butter and our food hygiene standards are sky-high.

• Passion for hospitality - whether that's a drink, a meal, a event or a bed for the night.
• You're all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You're not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You're up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we'd have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
• Previous experience working as part of a fast-moving kitchen team with freshness and provenance of ingredients as a key priority.
• Passion for food and fresh ingredients is a given.
• A true passion for creativity whilst maintaining the integrity of our brand standards through the dishes on the menu.
