The Cinnamon Collection—renowned for its contemporary take on Indian cuisine—is searching for a Kitchen Porter to support our kitchen team and help us deliver unforgettable dining experiences. At The Cinnamon Collection, we believe that every role in the kitchen is vital. As a Kitchen Porter, you'll be the backbone of the kitchen, ensuring that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes so our chefs can focus on creating incredible dishes. You're part of a passionate team dedicated to quality, service, and innovation.

• Keep the Kitchen Running Smoothly: You'll be responsible for maintaining cleanliness in the kitchen, ensuring that all areas are spotless and hygienic, from workstations to floors.
• Support the Chefs: You'll assist the kitchen team by washing pots, pans, and utensils, ensuring they're always ready to be used. You'll also help with basic food prep and restocking ingredients when needed.
• Manage Supplies: You'll ensure the kitchen is fully stocked with clean plates, utensils, and other essential equipment so that service is never interrupted.
• Maintain Health & Safety Standards: You'll play a key role in ensuring the kitchen meets the highest standards of cleanliness, food safety, and hygiene, working with the team to follow all guidelines.
• Grow with Us: From day one, we invest in your development. With tailored training and clear pathways for progression, your journey from Assistant Manager to General Manager—or even Operations Manager—starts here.
• Rewards That Matter: Enjoy a performance‑based bonus scheme, exclusive discounts on dining with us, and access to savings at thousands of retailers through our BRG Spark App.
• Well‑being at Your Fingertips: From advanced pay access with Wage stream to comprehensive healthcare support and free financial advice, we take care of our team like family.
• Flexible Working: We know life is full of surprises, so we offer flexible working opportunities to help you balance it all.
• Hardworking & Reliable: You take pride in your work and are always willing to go the extra mile to support the team.
• Team Player: You enjoy being part of a close‑knit team and understand that every role, big or small, contributes to our success.
• Organised & Efficient: You know how to manage your time and stay on top of tasks in a fast‑paced environment, ensuring the kitchen runs like clockwork.
• Attention to Detail: Cleanliness and hygiene are crucial in a kitchen, and you have a sharp eye for detail to ensure everything is up to standard.
• Previous Experience (Preferred, Not Required): While experience in a kitchen porter role is beneficial, what matters most is a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn. If you're ready to be part of a team that values hard work, attention to detail, and a passion for delivering great experiences, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today to become a Kitchen Porter at The Cinnamon Collection and take the first step towards a rewarding career in hospitality.
