Kitchen Assistant (Prep & Scullery)

You'll cook fast, clean food on the line at a wood-fired pizzeria in Prospecton. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Prospecton, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Run your station during service and call back every ticket from the pass.
• Help cost recipes and track waste on the weekly sheet.
• Label, date and rotate stock using first-in, first-out.
• Train the kitchen assistants on knife safety and prep standards.
• Cook for banquets and conference lunches of 100 to 400 guests.
• Bake breads, pastries or desserts for the morning buffet.

• You know food safety basics under R638 and HACCP
• 1 to 3 years in a busy commercial kitchen
• Comfortable in heat, on your feet, for long split shifts
• Good knife skills and you can prep at speed
• You take instruction from the head chef without drama
• A culinary certificate or City & Guilds, or solid on-the-job experience

• Halaal or kosher kitchen experience
• Pastry or bakery training

• Live-in accommodation at lodge postings
• Chef whites and safety shoes provided
• Transport allowance for split and late shifts
• Two staff meals per shift

• Expect a trade test: bring your own knives, arrive early and clean as you go the whole time.
• List your stations (grill, pastry, cold, sauce) under each job; head chefs scan for this first.
