They are currently looking for a hard-working individual to join their dynamic production team.

The Role
This position offers high volume hours and an opportunity to develop a broad range of skills. While the primary focus is assisting in the kitchen, full in-house training will be provided to help support the front-of-house counter, take orders, and serve customers.

• Customer Service: Greeting customers, taking accurate orders, and delivering quick, efficient service during peak hours.
• The Schedule: Early morning starts are required. The role involves working six days a week, averaging between 55 to 60 hours per week, with at least one day off.

About You

They are looking for the following attributes:
• A good understanding of the English language to communicate effectively with the team and customers.
• Prior commercial kitchen or catering experience is preferred, though not strictly essential as training is provided.
• A strong work ethic and the flexibility to adapt quickly between food prep and customer service.
• This position is well-suited for individuals on a 9-month on, 9-month off rotation, or those holding STEP licensing status.

Please note: While staff accommodation is not directly provided by the employer, they work closely with local landlords on the island to assist you in sourcing suitable housing. The cost will be covered by the employee.
