The Ideal Candidate
- The ideal candidate will be dependable, practical and happy to help wherever needed.

This is a hands-on support role rather than a chef position, making it well suited to someone with basic kitchen experience who is looking for a short-term opportunity and can hit the ground running.
Please note: Level 2 Food Safety and Level 2 Health & Safety certificates are essential and non-negotiable.
Candidates must hold both qualifications to be considered.
