This role says South West London, where is it based?

This role is a little different. Although there will be one main base (South Kensington), the ultimate objective for the role will be to support and cover across Central 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.

• Guaranteed contracted hours on fixed term

• 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.

At Honest we ask three things of you that are really important to us -

• Be You - Because who else are you going to be? The only thing we ask is to be aware of the impact you have on others.
