KITCHEN PORTER

Reporting to the Executive Head Chef, you will be a key member of the team, ensuring the smooth running of the kitchen. You’ll be working in a fast-paced environment with high standards. You need a warm, personable nature, a can-do attitude, and a great eye for detail.

As a Kitchen Porter, you will have the following responsibilities:

• Clean all crockery, cutlery, glassware, and other kitchen equipment ready for service - storing everything in a tidy, safe manner, ensuring all items are easily located when needed.
• Clean all fixed items of equipment, tables, worktops, and floors in the kitchens and food preparation rooms.
• Keep all store-rooms and refrigerators clean and tidy to the highest standard of hygiene, to enable food items to be stored safely.
• Ensure bins in the kitchens are emptied regularly, kept clean, and all rubbish is correctly disposed of.
• Assist the chefs, from time to time, in certain simple food preparation tasks as directed by the chef in charge.

• Special rates on Leonardo Hotel rooms across the UK & Europe: get planning that city break you’ve been dreaming of!
• Company-wide recognition scheme: for being your fabulous self, you could earn vouchers to spend on a wide range of high street shops.
• Free hot meals whilst on duty.
• Talent referral scheme: earn yourself a bonus for recommending a friend to join us.
• We love to get together and celebrate: we regularly host Thank You Week (your hotel could have anything from ice cream trucks to pizza parties) and every year we get dressed up in our fanciest threads to host our Employee Awards Celebration.
• The important stuff: access to the Company Pension Scheme, Life Assurance, and Wellbeing Support.
• Ongoing job-related training programmes with clear paths for progression.
