Kitchen Porter / Pot Wash

£14-£16 +TRONC

The Most Important Job in the Kitchen? Quite Possibly.

We're looking for a hardworking, reliable, and positive Kitchen Porter to join the team at The Starr.

Every great kitchen needs great people behind the scenes, and our Kitchen Porters are the backbone of our operation. Without clean equipment, organised workspaces, and support where it's needed most, the magic simply doesn't happen.

At The Starr, we're passionate about great food, fantastic hospitality, and creating memorable experiences for our guests. We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys being part of a team, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves.

What You'll Be Doing

• Washing pots, pans, crockery, cutlery, and kitchen equipment

• Keeping the kitchen clean, organised, and safe throughout service

• Supporting the chefs with basic food preparation when required

• Receiving and storing deliveries

• Maintaining excellent hygiene and food safety standards

• Helping to keep all kitchen and back-of-house areas spotless

• Being an essential part of a busy and successful kitchen team

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay plus TRONC*

• Flexible working opportunities

• Full training provided – no experience necessary

• Opportunities to develop and progress within the business

• Up to £1,000 Refer-a-Friend Bonus

• 50% off food when dining with us

• 20% discount for family and friends

• Birthday gift every year

• Long Service Awards at 5, 10, 15 years and beyond, including gifts and cake!

• A friendly and supportive team environment

About You

We're looking for someone who:

• Has a positive attitude and strong work ethic

• Enjoys working as part of a team

• Can work efficiently in a fast-paced environment

• Takes pride in cleanliness and organisation

• Is reliable, punctual, and eager to learn

• Previous kitchen experience is helpful but not essential

Why Join The Starr?

Because every successful service starts with teamwork.

Whether you're looking for your first role in hospitality or want to build a career in kitchens, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a business that values hard work, supports development, and recognises the importance of every team member.
