We are a growing hospitality company with lots of opportunities to progress into other roles too! The Role: Keep our back-of-house operations running smoothly. We cook fresh food made fresh for each customer. This means we use a lot of woks!

You will likely have: Energetic approach to work Excellent attention to detail Good organisational skills Positive, active and team-oriented approach to work The ability to multi-task in a busy environment What's the job like? We have open kitchens so that our chefs and front of house all work as one. And because we believe everyone plays a part in giving our guests a great experience, we distribute our tips equally to everyone on the shift whether you served the food or made it! This means you will get approximately 2 extra per hour in tips no matter the role! As you'd expect evenings and weekends are our busiest times so you'll likely need to be available to work at those times! You will also have the opportunity to train in different departments so there are lots of opportunities to learn something new and keep your job varied and exciting.
