Kitchen Porter – Heard.
Burgers worth gathering for.
Heard. is a premium fast-casual smash burger concept from 2 Michelin-starred chef Jordan Bailey, born from a desire to take an everyday classic and make it quietly exceptional. We combine top-quality, thoughtfully sourced ingredients with the rigour and technique of the world’s best kitchens. No gimmicks, no shortcuts - just maximum flavour done right.
After a massive year touring the UK’s biggest events, we opened our permanent home in Borough last year, pairing our signature burgers with considered natural wines, craft beer, and a warm, efficient service style.
Now, with our second site in Soho thriving, we are looking forward to our next chapter. With our third and fourth sites on the horizon, we are looking for dedicated Grill Chefs to join our kitchen team - people who take genuine pride in precision, thrive in a high-energy team, and believe the last burger of the shift should look and taste just as perfect as the first.
The Heard Package:
- Pay: £13 - £15 per hour OTE (depending on experience and which Heard. restaurant you’re hired for).
- Benefits: Access to benefits platform from day one including 50% off food and drink in our sites, cycle to work scheme and high street discounts
-
Professional Growth: Paid training and qualifications to help you level up your skills on the line and beyond.
- Clear Progression: Built-in career development. We rotate you across all kitchen sections and love promoting from within - this role is your direct path to Grill Chef, Senior Grill Chef or Junior Sous Chef as we expand.
