This is not just another kitchen job.
This is a fast-track into hospitality leadership for someone who wants more than just shifts and a rota.
You’ll start on the pizza section, learn the operation inside-out, and be developed into a future Assistant Manager through structured training, real responsibility, and hands-on leadership experience.
If you’re ambitious, reliable, and ready to step up - this role is built for you.
What you’ll be trained to do
Over time (with support), you’ll learn how to:
Run a high-volume NYC-style pizza kitchen
Lead and motivate a team during busy services
Understand KPIs, standards and performance targets
Solve problems quickly when things get hectic
Maintain excellent food safety and operational standards
This is a genuine development role - not a dead-end title.
The role
- Training across dough, prep, toppings, ovens and service flow
- Gradually leading sections and shifts as you progress
- Supporting senior managers with daily operations
- Learning stock control, food safety and team management
- Becoming a key part of the kitchen leadership team
Fast-paced. High standards. No two shifts the same.
What you get
✅ A clear pathway into Assistant Management
✅ Structured training and progression
✅ Increasing responsibility and decision-making power as you develop
✅ Support from experienced managers
✅ Free food on shift & staff discounts (as it should be)
✅ A workplace where effort actually leads somewhere
Pay is dependent on experience and reviewed as training milestones are achieved.
This role is ideal if you:
- Are 18 or over
- Are reliable, punctual and take pride in your work
- Thrive in fast-paced environments
- Are confident communicating and directing others
- Want to progress into leadership
- Are available evenings, weekends and key trading periods
Experience in pizza or high-volume hospitality is a bonus, not essential.
Long-term opportunity
This role is designed to develop someone into a permanent Assistant Manager and beyond.
If you show up, learn fast, lead well and hit standards - there is genuine progression inside Elephant.
