Our Story
Zizzi started in 1999 with a little wine, a big oven, and this huge dream to serve Italian, our way. You'll know us for bubbly pizzas, fresh pasta, and good times. We don't do bland food, people or restaurants.
About The Role
As a Zizzi Kitchen Porter, you'll create the organised, clean workspace that lets our chefs and food shine. We're looking for a reliable teammate who loves the fast-paced energy of a buzzing kitchen and knows that a spotless station is the secret behind every perfect plate. If you love food, being part of a kitchen team, and taking pride in standards, let's talk.
What you'll do:
- Wash plates, cutlery, and kitchen equipment quickly and safely to keep our high-volume services running smoothly.
- Help keep the kitchen spotless, making sure every station hits our strict hygiene standards.
- Assist the kitchen team with basic food prep and ensure all equipment is clean and ready when needed.
- Follow our simple safety guidelines to keep the kitchen organised and a great place to work for everyone.
- Jump in to help your teammates wherever needed to keep the restaurant energy high.

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.
