**Job Type**: Part-time (initially)

**Overview**:
We are in search of a motivated individual to join our kitchen team as a Kitchen Assistant. While experience in cooking in hospitality or professionally is great, and having qualifications can also be beneficial, it is not a requirement. As long as you have common sense, are diligent, can work quickly, and can pick up and understand instructions, you're the right fit for us.

We value individuals who can execute tasks quickly but to the same high standard each time, regardless of their prior cooking experience.

As a Kitchen Assistant, your responsibilities may vary from shift to shift, depending on the needs of the kitchen team and the time of day. We value cross-training our staff in all aspects of the kitchen, so you may be assigned to different stations as needed.

**Responsibilities**:

- **Cold Pantry Kitchen Duties**:_
- Prepare cold food items such as starters, salads, sandwiches, garnishes, and desserts as per menu specifications (see website for menus).

- Support the Head Chef in plating meals on the pass.
- Assist in cooking meal accompaniments such as chips, vegetables, and gravies.
- **3. General Kitchen Duties**:_
- Wash dishes and kitchen equipment when required.
- Maintain cleanliness in the work environment through daily cleaning tasks and occasional deep cleaning.
- Ensure the kitchen is tidy and organised.
- Uphold high standards of cleanliness and hygiene including proper labelling, dating, and sorting of food and produce.
- Assist in the closing down of the kitchen at the end of service.
- Aid in the preparation of vegetables and accompaniments.

**Flexibility and Initiative**:

- Adapt to various tasks as needed.
- Use initiative and common sense to handle unexpected situations.

**Remuneration and Benefits**:

- Wage is dependent on age and experience but is always above the National Living Wage in accordance with age.
- Hard work, initiative and keenness to take on additional responsibility, is always noticed by management and we are always keen to nurture and teach, and more importantly for you; compensate accordingly with pay increases and bonuses where earned and appropriate.
- Monthly tips, calculated and distributed at the beginning of each month for the previous month's shifts.
- Discounted food and drink off shift, whether you chose to eat-in after your shift or take it away. Cheesecake, brownie and burgers is the staffs staple diet.
- Free, soft draught & cordial drinks on shift (and the occasional glass of wine after a busy shift - it's well earned).
- Staff parties: Every year we throw an 'End of Summer' party and a Christmas Party for all the team, including food and some drinks.

**Qualifications/Requirements**:

- Previous experience in hospitality, catering, or cooking is beneficial but not required.
- Eager to learn with attention to detail and ability to work quickly.

**Schedule**:

- Initially part-time hours but can progress to full time if wanted.
- Lunch shifts usually 12pm - 2:30pm, Evening shifts usually 6pm - 10pm
- You may be on split shifts, where you work both lunch and evening with a significant break in-between, so living nearby helps so you can go home in-between shifts.
