Kitchen Porter in Cheltenham

Location: Set in the heart of one of the most picturesque Cotswold villages, The Slaughters Country Inn offers the authentic charm of a traditional village inn. With 5 AA Gold Stars for Guest Accommodation and 2 AA rosettes, it offers a relaxed yet professional environment to work in. The hotel may be able to offer on‑ or off‑site staff accommodation to help new team members relocate and settle in comfort. Free parking is available on‑site.

Service Charge: We pay our team a service charge each month, which goes into one pot and 100% is shared amongst all team members. The service charge can be in the region of £260 a month (close to £3,200 per year) over and above base pay for a full‑time employee.

Key Points About the Role: As a Kitchen Porter, you will be working as part of a passionate team of chefs, playing a crucial part in keeping the kitchen areas clean and tidy. Experience in a similar role is an advantage, although not essential. You’ll be an important part of this busy kitchen, as without clean plates, cutlery, and pots and pans, our chefs won’t be able to cook and serve their delicious meals. Being one team, everyone in the kitchen is responsible for keeping it clean. Work/life balance is important to us all, so we will always try to be fair with our rotas. We just ask that you can be flexible with us, so we can be flexible with you in return.

Perks: Competitive pay – We are proud that everyone who joins our group gets a competitive rate of pay, irrespective of age, plus you get service charge and tips on top. Treat yourself once in a while with lots of retail and hospitality perks through our Perkbox platform. Excellent discounts across our family of hotels – you will be entitled to 25% off food & beverage in our hotels, plus we offer an amazing staff rate of £25 B&B per person across the group and your friends and family get special rates too. We understand it’s OK not to be OK, so we offer an externally run confidential helpline for any support you require as part of our Employee Assistance Programme. We sustain you physically too – meals when you are on duty are free. We encourage teams to be curious. Everyone can learn and develop – our development pathways are unique to us and are the best in the business. We provide lots of opportunity to progress and move up – we have made hundreds of internal promotions, including to General Manager level. We like to say a special thank you for every year you are with us – our milestone awards include Champagne, afternoon tea, or dinner for you and someone special. When you reach the big milestones, you receive extra special gifts on top like longer hotel stays, extra days off and a unique gift especially chosen for you.

Our Family of Hotels: We bring a family of hotels together under one roof, ready to welcome guests with open arms, warm hearts and experiences that are simply memorable. Each of our hotels is unique, individual, and quirky in personality. Quality is fundamental to everything we do, and it is the simple things that matter. We believe everyone should feel included, special and welcome, and that applies to our team and our guests. We have very unique hotels in very special locations, from the award‑winning Gidleigh Park in Devon, the 900‑year‑old Amberley Castle, to our cool city centre Abode Manchester set in a 19th‑century textile factory, two minutes from Piccadilly train station.
