Kitchen Assistant

About the role

We're looking for a kitchen assistant who can deliver delight to our holiday resort guests. You will be helping the kitchen team to run a safe, efficient and profitable food and beverage operation.

What you will be doing

Work alongside front of house and kitchen team to maximise food margins and minimise wastage. Ensuring compliance with Health and Safety, Food Hygiene and COSHH regulations
And who knows what else you may find yourself doing. If you are happy to help even when it is 'not your job,' you are our sort of person.

Skills, experience, and qualities you will need. Nice to have but not essential.

We have high standards! We will train you up, but it would be nice for you to have:

A passion for food and hospitality Resilience, energy, enthusiasm and a positive attitude Previous experience in any area of food and beverage
