Kitchen Porter

We’re not hiring people to fill a seat or add to our headcount. We’re hiring people to craft our culture, ethos and success. This is a big deal for us, and we know it’s a big deal for you: a new role defines how you spend your days, who you spend them with, and what your future looks like. Together, we’ll shape each other’s entire trajectory. That deserves thoughtfulness, empathy and respect. It’s why this job description is deliberately detailed. We want you to know exactly what you’re stepping into. The challenges, the opportunities, the quirks of the role, and the kind of impact you’ll have.

Us Crafted is a series of life‑friendly hotels and spaces where guests can be themselves and fill up on the good stuff: nature, food, wellbeing, craft, people and play. We hope to open several hotels in the coming years, with our first coming in summer 2025: Crafted at Powdermills, East Sussex. More specifics will follow as planning and pieces fall into place.

So, for now, here’s the sentiment behind Crafted… It’s easy to get overwhelmed by life. To switch to autopilot and go through the motions. We’re busy but not on the things we loved doing, we spend more time on our phone, and we misplace our bounce and spark. We all need a tune‑up now and again. To escape to somewhere that makes us feel totally at ease. Not so we can step away from life, but so we can come back to it. This is where Crafted comes in. Our aim is to create a network of connected destinations that people come back to again and again because it’s where they feel good about life. Somewhere to work on life, come together, and connect locally.

You Crafted’s culture will be inclusive and agile but with ambitious goals and a start‑up mentality. We need to execute brilliantly from day one and every team member will contribute wherever they are able.
