Kitchen Assistant
We're looking for a Kitchen Assistant to join the opening team at Yarrow, our brand new restaurant in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.
Yarrow is a fresh dining destination, open to both the public and our retirement village residents, serving high-quality, seasonal food in a welcoming environment. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a brand new kitchen, working alongside an experienced team and helping to create an exceptional dining experience from day one.
Unlike many hospitality roles, Yarrow offers a better work-life balance, with more sociable opening hours while still being part of a busy, fresh food kitchen.
What you'll be doing
- Keeping the kitchen, equipment and utensils clean, organised and ready for service.
- Assisting the chefs with basic food preparation, including preparing ingredients and simple dishes.
- Receiving, checking and storing deliveries safely.
- Operating dishwashing equipment and ensuring crockery, cutlery and kitchen utensils are cleaned to a high standard.
- Supporting the kitchen team with stock rotation, waste management and maintaining excellent food hygiene standards.
- Following all health and safety and food safety procedures.
- Working closely with the wider kitchen team to ensure a smooth and efficient service.
What we're looking for
- Previous experience in a kitchen or hospitality environment is desirable, but a positive attitude and willingness to learn are just as important.
- Food Safety Level 2, or willingness to achieve this shortly after joining.
- A reliable, hardworking team player who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment.
- Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Flexibility to work a rota that includes some evenings and weekends.
What we offer
- Competitive salary.
- A great work-life balance with more sociable opening hours than many hospitality venues.
- Medicash healthcare plan.
- Pension scheme.
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
- Birthday leave.
- Reward and recognition schemes.
- Paid volunteering days.
- Training and development opportunities.
- The opportunity to be part of an exciting new restaurant from the very beginning.
