About the role…

Your main priority is to ensure our kitchen/s run smoothly by making sure everything is clean, tidy, safe and hygienic.

• Ability to work alone with minimal instruction, be self-led and take initiative along with working as part of a larger team
• Good time management skills – Our kitchens get busy, so keeping on top of routine tasks whilst being able to deal with ad-hoc extra duties is essential

• The ability to remain calm under pressure and follow instruction
• Awareness of hygiene and safety regulations
