This role says North London, where is it based?

This role is a little different. Although there will be one main base (Kings Cross), the ultimate objective for the role will be to support and cover across North London sites as needed.

If you're open to moving around sites and not being tied to one location this role could be for you.

• 28 days holiday pro rata for the period of employment (inclusive of bank holidays)
• Access to online 24/7 GP
• Hospitality, retail and gym membership discounts
• Cycle to work scheme

What happens after 5 months?

This role is initially a 5 month Fixed Term Contract. At the end of this period those that have demonstrated a great performance will be able to apply for any permanent Grill Chef vacancies across the business.
