via Workable

We're looking for a Kitchen Assistant to join the opening team at Yarrow on a part-time basis, 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.
