Job description

As a Kitchen Assistant at Prezzo Italian, you're the engine of the kitchen. You keep plates, pans and kit spotless, keep the kitchen safe and organised, and help the chefs whenever they need a hand. When you're on form, the whole kitchen flies. At Prezzo Italian, it all comes down to two things: the impression we make and the connections we build. Every guest should leave feeling genuinely looked after, not just served. That starts with how we treat each other. Teams who look out for one another, have fun together and take pride in what they do create the moments guests remember and come back for. New to hospitality? You'll get full training and a team that has your back from day one.

What you'll be responsible for

Keeping the kitchen running

• Wash and put away plates, pans and equipment quickly and carefully.
• Keep the kitchen, stores and bin areas clean and organised.
• Take in deliveries and put them away properly.

Being part of the team

• Help the chefs with basic prep when it's needed.
• Help your teammates when it gets busy.

Keeping standards high

• Follow cleaning, food safety and health and safety procedures every time.
• Use cleaning products and equipment safely.

Are you a Prezzo person? You're warm, genuine and generous with your time. You love great food and you love people even more. You make every guest feel welcome from the moment they walk in, you lift the team around you, and you take pride in getting the little things right. You bring energy, a sense of fun, and the confidence to make the call.

• A hardworking, can-do attitude.
• Energy, even on the busiest nights.
• A team player who's happy to muck in.
• Pride in a job done properly.

Experience is great, but it isn't essential. Your attitude matters most, and we'll teach you the rest.
