Your Role

Behind every great restaurant, bar and kitchen is a team making sure everything runs smoothly. As a Kitchen Steward at The Standard, London, you'll play a vital role in keeping our kitchens clean, organised and service-ready. From maintaining equipment and ensuring the highest hygiene standards to supporting chefs and operational teams behind the scenes, our Kitchen Stewards help create the foundations that allow exceptional hospitality to happen every day.

This is a hands-on role where no two shifts are quite the same.
