following dishwashing, grease-management and hand-hygiene procedures

cleaning, polishing and storing cutlery

managing waste, recycling and correctly receiving and storing deliveries

rotating stock and keeping fridges, freezers and storage areas clean and organised

maintaining high standards of food storage, safety and kitchen cleanliness

If you`re looking to progress, we can support your development with:

structured on-the-job training.

apprenticeships and management academies.

cross-training into other areas (bar, floor, hotel).

opportunities to move into team-leader, kitchen-shift-leader and/or pub-manager roles.

Wetherspoon promotes an inclusive working environment where everyone is welcome.

When you`re at work, we want you to feel comfortable being yourself. Whatever your background, preferences or beliefs, we`ll ensure that you have the skills and knowledge you need for a great career with us.

Under-18s may attract a lower rate of pay, always in line with, but usually above, national guidelines.

If a high number of applications is received, this vacancy may close early.
