Job Details
We are seeking a hardworking and hygiene-conscious Kitchen Assistant to support the kitchen team with preparation, cleaning, and general daily tasks so that service runs smoothly and food is handled safely. Reporting to the Head Chef, Sous Chef, or Kitchen Supervisor, the successful candidate will carry out the groundwork that allows cooks and chefs to focus on preparing and plating food.
The core of the role is food preparation support. The Kitchen Assistant washes, peels, chops, slices, and portions vegetables, fruit, meat, and other ingredients as instructed, prepares basic items such as salads, garnishes, marinades, and sandwiches, and sets up ingredients and equipment at each station before service. Quantities, cuts, and portion sizes follow the chef’s instructions and the kitchen’s standard recipes, and anything unclear is checked before work begins rather than guessed at.
