Job description

We're looking for a Kitchen Porter to join our Back of House team, the people behind the scenes who help keep our kitchens clean and organised, enabling our teams to deliver our high-quality dishes to our guests.

At Côte Brasserie, great food and great people are at the heart of everything we do. From welcoming guests to supporting our restaurants behind the scenes, every team member contributes to an experience our guests love coming back for.

As we enter an exciting new chapter with the Karali Group, we're investing in our people, enhancing our offering and building for the future.

What you'll do

As a Kitchen Porter, you'll be an essential part of the kitchen team, helping keep everything behind the scenes running smoothly so our chefs can do what they do best.

• Keep the kitchen and back-of-house areas spotless, safe and organised, before, during and after service.
• Operate the dishwasher and make sure crockery, cutlery, pots and pans are clean and ready when the team needs them.
• Keep cleaning supplies stocked and support the kitchen with basic food preparation when needed.
• Manage waste and recycling safely and responsibly.
• Keep an eye out for equipment faults or hazards and let the team know when something needs attention.
• Support the chefs wherever you can, especially when the kitchen is busy.
• Follow our food safety, hygiene and health & safety standards at all times.

Who you'll be

You're someone who takes pride in doing a job well. You're reliable, hardworking and understand that a clean, organised kitchen is the foundation of a great service.

You'll own it when it comes to your responsibilities, getting stuck in and making sure things get done properly. You'll be curious and keen to learn, whether that's mastering new cleaning systems or getting involved with food preparation.

You understand that great kitchens work in it together. You'll support the chefs, keep things moving and be someone your teammates can rely on when service gets busy.

And while you're behind the scenes, you'll still play an important part in making it special because every great plate starts with a great kitchen.

You'll bring:

• A reliable, hardworking and positive attitude.
• Good attention to detail and pride in cleanliness.
• The ability to stay calm and organised during busy services.
• A willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.
• A genuine team-first attitude.
• Enthusiasm to learn new skills and take on new challenges.
• You'll be present when your team needs you and bring a playful energy to the kitchen.

• Competitive hourly rate plus service charge
• Fortnightly pay, because who doesn't love a payday?
• Meals on shift
• 50% discount on food for you, your friends and family at any Côte Brasserie
• Plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress
• Access to your pay early through our Stream partnership
• A supportive kitchen team where everyone plays an important part
