Job description

Starting in September, are you an internationally minded professional, passionate about teaching people? Do you have a can-do mentality, can you push yourself and others forward and are you eager to contribute to The Social Hub's ambitious growth plans?

• Location: Porto, Portugal
• Role: Kitchen Host

Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept:

You are the cog that keeps the shared kitchen run smoothly and creating a fabulous bonding and learning experience with our Students. Not only will you be passing on a valuable skill to them but you will also be creating memories in the kitchen that they will probably never forget.

Before you start your Student off in the kitchen, it is important that they learn basic skills, particularly when it comes to safety in the kitchen and allowing them to handle familiar, or new, foods that they can explore before then showing them how you can incorporate them in simple recipes.

You are letting students get involved with the processes and make them more inclined to help out in the future. It probably isn’t a good idea to let them help out with over-complicated dishes, but even a simple job can make them feel involved and learn the discipline of cooking, and washing up is just as important as cooking. Not only will they develop culinary skills that will stay with them, but they will grow to be independent individuals who are able to feed themselves and others.

What You’ll Do:

• Keep all kitchen areas clean
• Clean all cookware and dining materials to ensure the smooth running of the kitchen and make sure that guests have the best service
• Maintain clean floors
• Remove broken or defective cooking/dining equipment
• Ensure that food items are all well stocked
• Occasionally assist with food preparation

Who are you?

• A flexible, hands-on, motivated and positive approach
• Background in various kitchen, preferably in cooking classes
• You love responsibility and handle stressful peak periods like a pro
• Fluent in English, and Portuguese – Know other languages? The more the merrier
• Hard working, responsible and “let’s do this!” mentality
• You’re legally allowed to work in Portuguese

What We Offer:

• The opportunity to work at a dynamic, young, multi-national company. Not just another hotel, we’re a game changing innovator, challenging every convention and defining the future.
• The chance to learn and grow in your role, with the potential for growth within or across the company
• Access to the amazing TSH facilities, including our awesome staff experiences, canteen and gym
• A wonderful workplace to call home, events, fun colleagues, and all regular salary/benefits stuff

At The Social Hub, we believe pay should be fair and consistent. That's why we carefully determine your starting salary based on the role, your assessed proficiency, and our salary framework. We make our best and fairest offer upfront, so we don't negotiate salaries. Because fairness shouldn’t depend on who negotiate best.
