We’re not hiring people to fill a seat or add to our
headcount. We’re hiring people to craft our culture, ethos and success. This is
a big deal for us, and we know it’s a big deal for you: a new role defines how
you spend your days, who you spend them with, and what your future looks
like.
Together, we’ll shape each other’s entire trajectory.
That deserves thoughtfulness, empathy and respect. It’s why this job
description is deliberately detailed. We want you to know exactly what you’re
stepping into. The challenges, the opportunities, the quirks of the role, and
the kind of impact you’ll have.
Us
Crafted is a series of life-friendly hotels and spaces
where guests can be themselves and fill up on the good stuff: nature, food,
wellbeing, craft, people and play. We hope to open several hotels in the coming
years, with our first coming in summer 2025: Crafted at Powdermills, East
Sussex.
More specifics will follow as planning and pieces fall
into place. So, for now, here’s the sentiment behind Crafted…
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by life. To switch to
autopilot and go through the motions. We’re busy but not on the things we love
doing, we spend more time on our phone, and we misplace our bounce and
spark.
In short, Dr Evil’s stolen our mojo.
We all need a tune up now and again. To escape to
somewhere that makes us feel totally at ease. Not so we can step away from
life, but so we can come back to it. This is where Crafted comes in.
Our aim is to create a network of connected destinations
that people come back to again and again because it’s where they feel good
about life. Somewhere to work on life, come together, and connect locally.
You
Crafted’s culture will be inclusive and agile but with
ambitious goals and a start-up mentality. We need to execute brilliantly from
day one and every team member will contribute wherever they are able.
As a kitchen porter, your primary
responsibilities focus on maintaining cleanliness, supporting kitchen
operations, and assisting chefs and kitchen staff. Here's a breakdown of your
key duties:
That said, as Kitchen Porter, your primary
responsibilities will be to:
Cleaning
Duties:
· Wash pots, pans,
utensils, and cooking equipment.
· Keep kitchen
surfaces, floors, and walls clean and sanitized.
· Ensure dishwashers
and sinks are clean and functioning properly.
· Empty bins and
dispose of kitchen waste correctly.
Food Preparation Support:
· Assist with basic
food prep (e.g., peeling vegetables, preparing ingredients).
· Ensure food prep
areas are clean, organized, and stocked.
Maintaining Stock & Supplies:
· Unload deliveries
and correctly store food and kitchen supplies.
· Monitor stock levels
of cleaning materials and basic ingredients.
· Rotate stock to
ensure proper food safety and reduce waste.
Health & Safety Compliance:
· Follow hygiene and
food safety standards (e.g., HACCP guidelines).
· Wear appropriate
protective clothing and report hazards or issues.
· Help with pest
control measures and deep cleaning tasks.
Supporting the Kitchen Team:
· Respond quickly to
requests from chefs and other kitchen staff.
· Keep walk-ins and
cold storage clean and organized.
· Assist with setting
up and closing down the kitchen
We’re looking for someone with:
· Good
physical stamina and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
· Attention
to detail and commitment to hygiene.
· Teamwork
and good communication.
· Willingness
to learn and take direction
· Ability
to assist with simple prep tasks like peeling, chopping, and portioning.
· Ability
to prioritize tasks and work efficiently under pressure, especially during busy
service times
Together
We hire people with personality who have a desire to
continuously learn. Each person should bring themselves to work to shape our
culture and keep us real, interesting, and original.
To create a comfortable environment for all, guest and
staff, we prioritise teamwork over titles: no one’s too important to lend a
hand, or to new to have a good opinion. We need low egos but high expectations:
people who are humble enough to jump in, and serious about making an impact.
Three values we’ll expect you to live by:
1. Enjoy
it: it’s still work, but if you’re having fun then so are our guests. It’s
ok if you’re humming behind the bar or moving with the music.
2. Own
it: whoever you are, and whatever your role, someone’s enjoyment is in
your hands. Always keep an eye out.
3. Improve
it: ask for feedback (and don’t be scared of what follows), and be
curious. We’ll give you plenty of chances to learn and develop.
Note: positive Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) principles are integrated across these three values.
