As a Kitchen Porter with De Vere you'll work at the heart of our busy kitchen, helping to keep everything clean, organised and running smoothly. You'll make sure kitchen equipment, utensils and work areas are cleaned and ready when the team needs them, while maintaining high standards of hygiene and safety.

And if you're interested in becoming a Chef, there may be opportunities to get involved with basic food preparation, learn from the chefs around you and develop your skills. It's not an expectation of the role, but for those who are keen, a Kitchen Porter role can be a great place to start a career in the kitchen.

This role involves working a mixture of earlies and late shifts to include weekends on a rota basis. - 0700-1530 / 1600-2330
