The Millpool is a well-regarded venue in Coventry with a busy kitchen serving food all day. The team is small, hands-on, and focused on doing things properly. This is a place where good work is noticed and people who want to grow get the chance to do it.

The role

As a Kitchen Assistant, you'll work alongside the kitchen team to keep service running smoothly. You'll get involved in all areas of the kitchen, from prep through to plating, giving you a solid grounding in how a professional kitchen operates. This role is designed for someone who wants to develop and, in time, progress towards a chef position.

  • Small team — your contribution is noticed and your ambition is encouraged

You'll:

  • Prepare ingredients to specification before and during service
  • Plate dishes accurately and consistently to the kitchen's standard
  • Support the team with general kitchen duties throughout the shift
  • Keep your section clean, organised, and stocked at all times
  • Follow food hygiene and allergen procedures correctly on every shift
  • Assist with deliveries, stock rotation, and end-of-day kitchen close-down
  • Learn as you go, picking up new skills with the guidance of the kitchen team

What you'll bring:

Essential:

  • Some kitchen or catering experience, however informal
  • Reliable, with the commitment to turn up and work hard every shift
  • Comfortable working at pace in a kitchen environment
  • Eligible to work in the UK without sponsorship
  • Genuine interest in cooking and a desire to progress within this field.

Useful, not essential:

  • Basic food hygiene awareness or a Level 2 Food Safety certificate

Working arrangements

  • Location: Coventry (CV2)
  • Contract: Permanent | Full-time
  • Hours: 10am–9pm shifts, 5–6 days per week
  • Physical: role involves extended periods of standing in a kitchen environment
