- Maintaining high standards of food hygiene, cleanliness and personal hygiene.
- Carrying out regular deep cleaning of the kitchen, equipment and work areas as required.
- Following all commercial kitchen procedures, food safety regulations and health and safety requirements.
- Supporting the rest of the kitchen team to ensure smooth and efficient service.
The successful candidate must:
- Have previous experience working in a commercial kitchen.
- Hold an in-date Food Safety Certificate.
- Be confident preparing and cooking basic dishes without constant supervision.
- Be able to cope with a busy, fast-paced kitchen environment.
- Be organised and have excellent time-management skills.

Working Hours
Flexibility is essential for this position.
You will be required to work mornings and evenings on any day of the week, depending on the requirements of the business. This will include weekends, bank holidays and other busy periods.
You will also be required to work over the Christmas period, so applicants must be able to commit to working during the festive season.
This is a great opportunity for someone who already has commercial kitchen experience and wants to become part of a busy team where standards, organisation, cleanliness and good food are taken seriously.
If you are reliable, hardworking, confident in the kitchen and able to work independently while still being a strong team player, we want to hear from you.
