We are looking for 2 Kitchen Porters for our Catering & Retail Service department at the House of Lords. This is an exciting position for someone who maintains highest standard of cleanliness and tidiness, according to current health and food hygiene legislation at all times.
This is an opportunity to work onsite at Parliament working Monday to Friday!
As a Kitchen Porter you will be expected to undertake all general Kitchen Porter duties, work to pre-arranged cleaning schedules, and use cleaning equipment and materials effectively. You must be prepared to assist other team members when required and should expect to be moved from area to area as demand requires and will feel comfortable to work in a fast-paced environment.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• To have a basic Food Hygiene Certificate or equivalent and COSHH. It would be desirable to also have some knowledge of Health & Safety and Manual Handling.
  The job description provides full details about the role and what we are looking for.

• Thorough cleaning of designated areas, sweeping and mopping of floors, ensuring that all surfaces are hygienically cleaned as instructed by the Line Manager.
• Cleaning of heavy-duty cooking utensils, pots, trays in pot wash sinks.
• Cleaning and polishing of tarnished silver wear and cutlery.
• Prepare the dishwasher for the days use by checking that it is in full working order, has sufficient chemicals for the day’s operation, and that it is cleaned as directed by the Head Porter. Advise the Head Porter of any faults and chemical requisitions required.
• Make sure that all the dirty crockery and cutlery is cleared off the service lifts, wash in the appropriate dishwasher; once cleaned, stack all items safely on the correct shelves or send clean crockery, cutlery and glassware to the appropriate outlet as required by the waiting staff.
• Observe all legislative requirements including those concerning food hygiene, and health and safety at work. Each member of staff should eliminate hazards to safety and to health, and where this cannot be done the hazards should be reported to the appropriate Health and Safety Co-ordinator.
