Make Every Shift Shine

Love the buzz of a busy coffee shop and take pride in keeping things running like clockwork? We're looking for a reliable, hard-working and enthusiastic Kitchen Porter to join our busy team. You'll be the behind-the-scenes hero who keeps our kitchen clean, hygienic and organised. By ensuring clean crockery is always ready, the kitchen remains sanitary and food waste is managed properly, you'll provide the essential support our chefs and baristas need to keep service moving smoothly. It's a crucial role - and a fantastic chance to make a real impact on every shift.

Your Shift, Your Impact

• Keep it sparkling: Operate the industrial dishwasher; wash pots, pans, plates and cutlery; then dry and restock everything quickly.
• Champion kitchen hygiene: Clean and sanitise work surfaces, walls, floors and food-preparation areas-including sinks, stoves and fridges-before, during and after shifts.
• Support the team: Help with basic food preparation when needed, including washing, peeling and chopping vegetables or fruit.
• Stay on top of waste: Empty kitchen bins and ensure all waste is correctly sorted into recycling or disposal areas.
• Keep stock moving: Receive deliveries, check them for accuracy, and keep the stockroom and walk-in fridges organised.
• Put safety first: Follow all health, safety and hygiene regulations, including COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) standards.
• Help every area look its best: Assist with maintaining the cleanliness of the café seating area, staff rooms or public restrooms when requested.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Dependable: You have a proven record of punctuality and reliability—the team can count on you.
• Ready for an active role: You can stand for long periods, work in a warm environment and lift heavy items, such as crates of deliveries.
• A true team player: You bring a positive attitude and work brilliantly as part of a close-knit team.
• Quick and efficient: You can work confidently under pressure during busy lunchtime or weekend rushes.
• Experience is welcome, not essential: Previous experience as a Kitchen Porter or in a café or hospitality setting is a plus, but we'll provide training.
• Eligible to join us: You have the right to work in the UK.

• 50% staff card to use on shift and with friends & family!
