Job Description

Great food starts with a great team – and our Kitchen Porters are an important part of it.

We’re looking for a Kitchen Porter to join the kitchen team at De Vere Tortworth Court in Wotton Under Edge.

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.

It’s a hands-on and physical role where you’ll be on your feet and working as part of a busy team. You’ll help with deliveries, moving equipment and keeping kitchen and storage areas organised, getting involved wherever you’re needed to support the brigade.

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 40 hours per week over 5 days including a mixture of earlies and late shifts to include weekends on a rota basis.

What we’re looking for from a Kitchen Porter

  • Someone with a positive, can-do approach who enjoys being part of a busy team.
  • Someone who takes pride in keeping things clean, organised and ready for others to use.
  • You’ll be comfortable with the physical nature of the role and being on your feet throughout your shift.
  • You’ll be reliable, punctual and ready to get involved wherever the team needs you.
  • Previous kitchen or cleaning experience would be helpful, but it’s not essential as full training will be provided.

The Pay & Benefits:

At De Vere we pay attention to the thoughtful details that inspire the loyalty of our permanent colleagues. That’s why we are proud to offer the following benefits for the role of Kitchen Porter.

  • £12.71 per hour plus a share of the Hotel Service Charge to help boost your earnings and reward you for the service you deliver
