Job description:
Neighbourhood Coffee House, Ashton Preston
We're Hiring: Chef / Cook – Full or Part-Time
Competitive hourly rates based on experience
Neighbourhood is here — Preston's newest coffee and brunch spot built for the community. We're now looking for a Chef (or experienced cook) to help us bring our food vision to life.
If you love working with local quality ingredients, enjoy building simple but delicious plates, and thrive in a positive, independent kitchen environment — this could be your next move.
About the Role
You'll be preparing our brunch menu, focaccia sandwiches, and fresh bagels — keeping it simple, seasonal, and consistently tasty. Our kitchen is small and open, so every role is hands-on, with a focus on quality and calm, organised service.
You'll be:
* Preparing and plating dishes to order, focusing on consistency and presentation
* Managing prep and kitchen organisation with care and efficiency
* Working closely with the owners and baristas to ensure smooth service
* Keeping things clean, safe, and up to standard
* Helping shape and refine the menu as we grow
We're Looking For
* Experience in a similar café, brunch kitchen or small restaurant
* Confidence working solo or with one other during quieter services
* A good understanding of food safety and kitchen hygiene
* A calm, positive attitude and pride in the plates you serve
* An interest in seasonal ingredients and simple, flavour-led food
What You'll Get
* A welcoming, supportive workplace where your input matters
* Competitive pay, flexible hours and a collaborative team
* Staff discounts, good coffee, and the chance to grow with us
* Space to experiment with ideas as the business evolves
