At Festival Street Kitchen, we love dynamic and enthusiastic people that like to break free of the traditional mould, have fun while working hard, and love the food they create - Fellow foodies wanted!
It's an exciting time for the company; we have just opened a new site and our events side of the business is constantly receiving bookings. The new site offers amazing opportunities, and we are looking for a happy, motivated assistant manager to join us and help push our expansion journey!
We are a small independent company that makes everything fresh where possible, sources local produce, has fun, gives back to our customers, and makes impressive food. We need a motivated all-rounder who takes pride in their work, is physically fit (for set-up & closing), likes to work outside, has a passion for food, and enjoys managing and motivating people.
The ideal individual is happy to work weekdays, weekends, and evening shifts, but we are flexible with days needed off and genuinely want our staff to have a good work-life balance.
There are many benefits to working for an independent company, but it also means we only need reliable people that are dedicated. We will provide any training where required and will support and guide you; please only apply if you have a high level of respect for health & hygiene.
With the business growing, it offers great opportunities for those who want to progress, push the business with us, and earn more through helping us hit our goals! There are opportunities to progress if the right level of passion and commitment is seen.
