The Role

This is a hands-on position, ideal for someone who enjoys cooking, takes pride in their work and is confident managing a small, busy kitchen.

The role is approximately 25 hours per week, predominantly across weekends, so flexibility to work Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays is essential.

• Complete relevant kitchen checks, temperature records and cleaning schedules.
• Support and supervise other kitchen team members when required.
• Work closely with the management team to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.
• Contribute ideas for new dishes, seasonal specials and menu improvements.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience working in a busy commercial kitchen.
• Confident cooking a varied menu and managing kitchen service independently.
• Good knowledge of food hygiene, allergens and food safety.
• Experience with stock control and food cost management.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to remain calm and efficient during busy periods.
• Reliable, punctual and able to take ownership of the kitchen.
• Flexibility to work weekends.

Previous kitchen management experience is desirable but not essential for the right candidate.
