As a Kitchen Porter at Holiday Inn Manchester City Centre, you'll play an integral role in ensuring that our kitchen runs smoothly so that, as a team, you're creating outstanding, memorable experiences. Without you and your rubber gloves, your team of Chefs couldn't deliver. We know it's not uncommon for Kitchen Porter's to sometimes get overlooked, but to us – you'll be something of a hero.

What will I be responsible for as a Kitchen Porter?
There are the types of people who throw a tantrum as you add another plate to the sink when they are washing the dishes, people who can't cope with change. This definitely won't be you – you'll be committed to delivering a pristine and organised kitchen for your team, in addition to supporting with deliveries and ordering the storeroom. You'll be able to spin on your feet and help where help is needed!
