About the role…

Your main priority is to ensure our kitchen/s run smoothly by making sure everything is clean, tidy, safe and hygienic.  When a kitchen is busy, equipment will need to be cleaned quickly and be ready for chefs and service staff to use.  In addition to keeping the kitchen sparkling clean, kitchen porters can sometimes be involved in food preparation.

About you…

• Good level of physical fitness - not just because you’re on your feet all day, but also for unloading deliveries
• Ability to work alone with minimal instruction, be self-led and take initiative along with working as part of a larger team
• Good time management skills – Our kitchens get busy, so keeping on top of routine tasks whilst being able to deal with ad-hoc extra duties is essential
• Ability to communicate well across the team
• The ability to remain calm under pressure and follow instruction
• Awareness of hygiene and safety regulations

The Royal Station Hotel, Newcastle is a grade 1 and 2 Victorian listed building boasting elegant architecture, officially opened by Queen Victoria in 1850. Today, we offer spacious rooms, an indulgent bar and restaurant, an indoor heated swimming pool and a fitness centre within its iconic walls.
