• Reliable and punctual.

• Strong work ethic – you enjoy hard, physical work.
• Able to work quickly and efficiently with good attention to detail.
• Basic food safety knowledge (we provide training).

• Full training: First aid, food safety, and manual handling training provided

Progression & growth

• Clear kitchen career path: Kitchen Porter → Kitchen Assistant / Commis Chef → Chef de Partie → Kitchen Supervisor → Head Chef / Production Kitchen Head Chef, with defined rate ranges at each step.
• Progression is based on reliability, hygiene standards, initiative, willingness to learn, and contribution to team operations – not just time served.
