Kitchen Porter

Role overview

TRGC is hiring a Kitchen Porter to help maintain high standards in a busy hospitality setting in Edinburgh. This role is part of a large UK-wide restaurant group with a strong presence across restaurants, pub restaurants and airport concessions.

You will play a key part in keeping kitchen operations running smoothly, supporting the team to deliver food that looks great, is served to a high standard, and encourages guests to return. The role suits someone who takes pride in cleanliness, consistency and working as part of a fast-moving kitchen team.

Airport-based shifts may begin as early as 3:00am, so early starts are part of the job; in return, they can also mean earlier finishes.

• Provide dependable service in a busy airport setting at different times of day, including very early shifts.

Benefits

• Free meals during shifts.
• Up to 30% discount across all brands, with no restriction on the number of guests, including wagamama.
• Duty-free discounts, excluding alcohol and cigarettes.
• Access to a discount platform for savings on everyday spending and more.
• Wagestream access, allowing you to draw wages as they are earned.
• Strong training and development support, including apprenticeships open to everyone.

Candidate profile

We are looking for someone who has kitchen porter experience or has worked in a trainee capacity. You should be comfortable staying positive in a fast-paced airport environment and be flexible with working hours, including very early starts.
