It's pretty simple. Without you, the kitchen just doesn't operate properly. You'll support the Head Chef in the day-to-day running of a clean and well organised kitchen, and jump in when needed to help the rest of the team deliver freshly cooked food on-spec, on-time, every time. Simple!

• Competitions and incentives (like jetting off on an all expenses paid trip with one of our supplier)
• Christmas and Boxing Day off!
• The best staff party - Loungefest
• Emotional and practical support via the Licenced Trade Charity
• Power over your pay with Wagestream
• Company pension scheme
• Long service awards
• Great opportunity for personal development and career progression in a fast-growing business

What you'll bring
