Kitchen Assistant – Part-Time, Permanent Position
Join the all-new, regenerated Coddy Shack – brand new and more exciting than ever
We're looking for a reliable and conscientious person who wants to start a career in catering and grow with us. No fancy CV or years of chef experience needed — what matters most is your attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn.
At The Coddy Shack you'll learn the ropes of a busy, professional kitchen, working your way through each role:
Prep work (learning the basics, prepping chips to seafood, organisation)
Assistant cook (supporting our chefs with cooking and plating)
Assistant fryer (mastering our famous fish & chips station)
…and onwards as you gain confidence and skills.
This is a chance to build a real future in catering with an experienced, supportive team around you.
