Come join the team at The Hogless Roast! We're looking to build our small team and get our Hogless Rolls out to even more people!
We're looking to hire a full-time Kitchen Manager who will work alongside the two founders and the rest of the team, helping us grow the business.
We're all about quality in everything we do, no shortcuts, and this goes for our food above everything.
The work is quite fast-paced but we don't take ourselves too seriously and always keep a fun atmosphere in the kitchen.
We have been referred to (once) as “such great bosses” and “a lot of fun” so obviously you'll have a great time with us.
For successful applicants, important dates: The starting date for the role is Nov 30th with interviews and trial shifts between 9th-23rd November.
Thanks, Matt & Ross
