About the Role
You’ll support our line chefs with essential kitchen tasks, ensuring high standards of cleanliness, efficiency, and guest satisfaction.

With unparalleled career progression, opportunities, and benefits, this role is perfect for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and wants to grow in hospitality.
Responsibilities
- Maintain kitchen cleanliness and hygiene standards, including washing dishes and sanitising food prep areas.

- Collaborate closely with a team in a fast-paced environment (airports, cafés, pubs).
- Report any issues promptly and address them together to uphold service excellence.
- Demonstrate a commitment to guest experience through teamwork and reliability.
