Join the Honesty Family — Kitchen Support Assistant (Kitchen Porter)
The Hartley Arms
Who We Are
At Honesty Group, we believe hospitality should feel honest, welcoming, and full of care — whether that’s through a perfect sourdough loaf, a well-poured pint, or a kitchen that runs smoothly behind the scenes.
The Hartley Arms is a pub rooted in community: good food, good people, and genuine hospitality. No gimmicks. Just quality ingredients, warm service, and a team that looks after one another.
Everything we do is built on teamwork. And that includes the kitchen.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
We believe every role matters. A strong kitchen porter keeps the whole kitchen moving and plays a huge part in delivering great service.
You’ll be joining a supportive team where hard work is noticed, people are respected, and opportunities to grow are real.
Many of our chefs and kitchen leaders started in junior kitchen roles — we love developing people who care and want to learn.
What You’ll Do

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
