Job description

We are a bold, award-winning business that prides itself on offering an eclectic range of innovative, fresh, and seasonal menus that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment. We run friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards, always striving to be the best we can be. It is these high standards that, without a team of great kitchen porters—the heartbeat of our kitchens—we could not deliver!

We are looking for a Kitchen Porter to join the family.

The Bear is a historic Cirencester pub, recently refurbished with stunning traditional features, cosy furnishings, and an open fire.

Join us for award-winning beer, delicious seasonal dishes, and Great British pub classics made with the finest local produce, plus weekend brunch and Cirencester’s finest Sunday roasts. In the warmer months, our streetside beer garden is perfect for al fresco drinking and dining.

What’s in it for you?

• The chance to work for an award-winning business. We have won the Best Food Offer (2019 & 2020) and Best Managed Pub Company (2021) at The UK Publican Awards.
• Access to Liberation Life — an incredible platform where you can earn cashback with major retailers, save money on your purchases including holidays, groceries, gifts, and much more!
• A competitive hourly rate plus an equal share of great tips. You will get paid for the hours you work.
• Access to industry-leading training and development. We offer bespoke training plans as part of our ‘Pillars of Progression’ programme.
• We work with HIT training to provide industry-leading apprenticeship schemes.
• Additional support and coaching from our talented kitchen teams.
• Tools and investments in our kitchens to help you do a great job.
• The buzz of team parties, events, training courses, great suppliers, and some of the industry’s best team rewards, discounts, and benefits (including 50% off food on shift).
• A business that cares about you. We are ambassadors for the Burnt Chef Project, fighting the stigma of mental health, and working with them to train and support our teams. We also offer a 24/7 Employee Assistance Program for support.
