Hours: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Saturday to Tuesday (from 20 hours/week)

Reports to: Head Chef

Looking for a hospitality role that offers structure, purpose, and your evenings back? We’ve got just the thing.

At Mill View, we’re looking for a Kitchen Assistant to join our friendly team and support our chefs in delivering a high-quality dining experience for our residents. This role offers a consistent minimum of 20 hours per week, working 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM from Saturday to Tuesday—a schedule that gives you your afternoons and evenings free, while still being part of a rewarding and fast-paced environment.

Please note: Unfortunately, due to service needs, the days and times for this role are fixed and not flexible.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Assisting chefs with food prep and kitchen duties

Keeping the kitchen and dining areas clean, safe, and well-stocked

Helping reduce food waste and maintain hygiene standards

Contributing to menu ideas based on resident feedback

Ensuring food safety and health regulations are always met

Why This Role Stands Out:

Work-life balance: Enjoy your afternoons and evenings—no late-night shifts!

Stable hours: from 20 hours per week, Saturday to Tuesday, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Supportive team: Be part of a kitchen that values collaboration and care

Meaningful impact: Help deliver meals that brighten our residents’ days

What We’re Looking For:

A team player with a can-do attitude and attention to detail

Someone who takes pride in their work and communicates well

Knowledge of food safety and kitchen equipment (Level 2 Food Hygiene is a plus!)

Experience in catering or hospitality is desirable, but not essential

Our Values: We’re proud of what we do and how we do it—putting customers first, working with integrity, and always striving to get things right the first time.
