Come and be part of the team
We’re JP’s Kitchen. We make great food, put on brilliant events and make sure everything comes together when it really matters. We work with a great mix of clients and events, which means no two days are quite the same. That’s part of the fun. We bring flexibility, creativity and the highest standards of catering and service to every job, with no shortcuts, no compromises, just great food, high standards and people who take pride in what they do.
We’re a friendly, supportive team that trusts people to get on with the job and make things happen. We give people the freedom and trust to get on with the job, bring their own ideas to the table and make a great event look effortless, even when it wasn’t.
We like people
who like people
Hospitality can be demanding. Sometimes the alarm goes off horribly early, sometimes the finish is horribly late, and sometimes you’re working a weekend when everyone else is having fun. But when the room is buzzing, the food is flying out and the client is delighted, it’s hard to beat.
We’re looking for people who get it: people who think ahead, spot what needs doing, take the initiative, think one step ahead and don’t wait to be asked. You don’t have to know everything, but you do need to care. We want people with the right attitude and personality who support their teammates, stay calm when plans change and take pride in doing a great job. You’ll have the support of the wider team, but also the trust and independence to make your own decisions.
There’s plenty
more to come
We’re growing, but we’re not interested in growing for the sake of it. We want to grow the right way — steadily, independently and with ambition — while staying true to what makes JP’s Kitchen special. As we grow, so do the opportunities for our people. That means investing in our people, getting better at how we work together and creating more opportunities to learn, develop and progress.
We’re building a business with big ambitions, high standards and a healthy appetite for what comes next, and a team that genuinely looks out for each other. So if you’re looking for somewhere you can bring your skills, bring your personality and bring your appetite, come and talk to us.
Why Join us?
The event-based nature of our business seems to suit people who are interested in flexible, part-time work, often freelance and fitting in with other work they undertake. Sometimes they’re looking to work for a limited time, to save for a holiday for example.
This works for us too and we discuss and establish what types of days and hours are mutually suitable, so we know how best to deploy our people.
Get in touch with us at joinus@jpskitchen.co.uk to register your interest generally, or in response to a particular role. Don’t worry if you don’t have a current CV, just tell us what experience you have and why you think you’re right for us.
We’re building a talent pool of interested and suitable people, and it is the first place we look when we’re growing, winning new business or peak trading is approaching. We look forward to hearing from you!
