Kitchen Assistant – Your Journey to Becoming a Chef Starts Here

Love food, thrive under pressure and want to build a future in the kitchen? This could be your opportunity.

Looking for ambitious Kitchen Assistants to join our teams in Oslo.

You don't need to be a trained chef. What matters most is your attitude, your work ethic and your willingness to learn.

Hva vi ser etter

We care more about your mindset than your CV.

You'll fit right in if you:

• Are fast and efficient. You enjoy a high-energy environment and know how to keep moving when things get busy.
• Are structured and organised. You notice the details, work systematically and take pride in getting things right.
• Have a positive, can-do attitude. You bring good energy, support your teammates and see challenges as opportunities.
• Want to learn and grow. You're curious about food, open to feedback and motivated to improve.
• Take responsibility. You see what needs doing and act without always being asked.
• Can communicate in English and are comfortable working evenings and weekends.

Previous kitchen experience is an advantage, but the right attitude is more important than experience.

Arbeidsoppgaver

As a Kitchen Assistant, you'll play an essential part in keeping our kitchen running smoothly. Your job combines hands-on food preparation and service with maintaining the organisation and cleanliness that allow great chefs to perform.
