Back of House Team Member

We're looking for a Casual Pizza Chef to join the kitchen team at YES Manchester.

YES is a busy independent music, food and nightlife venue in the heart of Manchester. With live shows, club nights, events and busy weekend trade, we're looking for someone who can jump into the kitchen team and help us deliver great, consistent food when we need additional cover.

This is a casual position, with shifts available depending on venue trade, events and team cover. It could work particularly well alongside another job, studies or freelance work.

You'll be helping with:

• Preparing and cooking pizzas consistently and to spec

• Working a busy fryer section

• Food preparation before service

• Keeping your section clean, organised and well stocked

• Maintaining portion and presentation standards

• Following food safety, allergen and hygiene procedures

• Opening and closing kitchen duties

• Supporting the wider kitchen team during busy services

We're looking for someone who is reliable, quick, organised and comfortable working under pressure.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Previous experience in a kitchen or food operation

• Experience working with pizzas, fryers or high-volume service

• Good food hygiene and kitchen standards

• Confidence working independently on a section

• A positive attitude and willingness to get stuck in

• Good evening and weekend availability

Experience with pizza dough and pizza ovens would be a bonus, but isn't essential for someone with solid kitchen experience and the right attitude.

This isn't a traditional restaurant kitchen.

You'll be working inside one of Manchester's best-known independent music venues, with shifts covering everything from regular food service to sold-out gigs, club nights and events.

It's a casual, flexible role in a fast-paced and informal environment, ideal for someone looking to pick up additional kitchen shifts.
