Every great kitchen runs on the people who keep it moving, and this is one of them. We are looking for a hardworking Kitchen Porter to join our team at The Randolph, one of Oxford's most iconic addresses, and become the beating heart of a busy, high quality kitchen.
White Rabbit Hospitality provides the food and beverage services at The Randolph, one of Oxford's most storied hotels. We are the team behind the kitchen, part of White Rabbit Projects, one of the UK's most exciting hospitality groups. From Rusacks St Andrews to Ember Locke in Kensington, we bring food, service, and energy that people travel for into landmark spaces. At The Randolph, we run the F&B, and this kitchen is going places.
This isn't a role where you go unnoticed. A great Kitchen Porter is the difference between a kitchen that struggles and a kitchen that flies, and we treat the role that way. You keep the section clean, the chefs stocked, and the pace up, and in return you become part of a team that has your back and a group that will help you grow if you want to build a career in kitchens.
At White Rabbit, our values are not a poster on the wall, they are how we work. Hospitality is at our core. We do the right thing. We pursue excellence. We are all entrepreneurs. And underpinning all of it, we work hard and we are kind.
HOSPITALITY IS AT OUR CORE - You keep the kitchen clean, safe, and moving so the team can look after every guest.
WE DO THE RIGHT THING - You take pride in hygiene, safety, and doing the job properly, even when no one is watching.
WE PURSUE EXCELLENCE - You hold the same high standard on a quiet shift as you do on a full house, every single time.

This could be a job, or it could be the first step of a career. Plenty of brilliant chefs started exactly where you are, and if you want to learn the craft, we will give you the environment and the support to do it. Bring your energy and your work ethic, and we will do the rest.
If you are reliable, hardworking, and ready to be the backbone of a landmark kitchen, we want to hear from you.
