Kitchen Porter

No two services are quite the same, but your role will include:

Keeping our pot-wash and dishwashing areas clean, organised and running efficiently

Cleaning crockery, cutlery, utensils, pots, pans and kitchen equipment

Making sure chefs have clean equipment available when they need it

Maintaining excellent standards of cleanliness throughout the kitchen

Completing daily cleaning and end-of-shift close-down duties

Following food hygiene, allergen, Health & Safety and COSHH procedures

Helping keep storage and waste areas clean and organised

Separating waste and supporting our recycling and sustainability procedures

Reporting equipment faults, breakages or safety concerns promptly

Helping the kitchen team during busy services

Where trained, helping with deliveries, stock organisation and basic food preparation

Taking part in training and preparations ahead of the restaurant opening

You don’t need to be a chef to make a big difference in our kitchen

We’re looking for someone who is:

Reliable – your team can count on you

Hard-working – you’re happy working in a busy, physically active environment

Organised – you take pride in keeping your work area clean and tidy

A team player – you’re willing to get stuck in and help others

Safety conscious – you understand the importance of following procedures and asking when you’re unsure

Positive – even when service gets busy

Proud of high standards – you notice the details and want things done properly

Previous kitchen or hospitality experience would be useful, but it isn’t essential. The right attitude, reliability and willingness to learn are just as important to us

This is more than joining an existing kitchen – you’ll be helping us build one

Before we open, you’ll receive training and get to know the kitchen, equipment and team, including training in food hygiene, allergens, COSHH, cleaning procedures and safe ways of working

You’ll help us establish the standards we want to maintain from our very first service

If you’re interested in becoming a chef in the future, this could be a great place to start

There will be opportunities to develop your knowledge and skills in areas such as food preparation, knife skills, food hygiene, allergens, stock rotation and kitchen organisation, with potential progression into roles such as Kitchen Assistant or Commis Chef

At Hiddenwell, our values of Integrity, Excellence, Teamwork, Respect and Commitment guide how we work. We’re looking for people who take pride in what they do, support the people around them and want to be part of creating something special

This isn’t simply an opportunity to join an established kitchen. You’ll be there at the beginning

You’ll have the opportunity to help shape how the kitchen operates, influence menus and standards, develop the brigade and play a key role in establishing the reputation of an exciting new restaurant

At Hiddenwell, our values of Integrity, Excellence, Teamwork, Respect and Commitment guide how we work. We want to create a kitchen where ambition and exceptional standards go hand-in-hand with teamwork, development and respect
