Hiraeth is an intimate, ambitious taster menu restaurant in Cardiff, focused on delivering exceptional food and hospitality at the highest level. Every detail matters to us — from the guest experience to the way our kitchen operates behind the scenes.

We are looking for a reliable and hard-working Kitchen Porter / Cleaner to join our small, dedicated team.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced role that requires energy, pride in your work, and a strong team mentality. In return, you’ll be part of a supportive environment where your role is genuinely valued.

A typical day will include:

Carrying out daily cleaning of the restaurant, including all front of house areas, to a high standard
Preparing the restaurant for service, ensuring all customer-facing areas are clean, organised, and presentable
Maintaining exceptional cleanliness across the kitchen, including deep cleans
Keeping the pot wash section organised, efficient, and running smoothly
Supporting chefs with clean-as-you-go practices during service
Assisting with basic food preparation when required

This role is vital to the success of our kitchen. A strong Kitchen Porter keeps the whole team moving and helps maintain the standards we are known for.

What We’re Looking For

A strong work ethic and reliability
High standards and attention to detail
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
Positive attitude and willingness to learn
Team player who takes pride in their work
Previous experience in a similar role or maintaining high cleaning standards is preferred

Experience is helpful but not essential — attitude is everything.

What You’ll Get

Competitive hourly rate (based on experience)
Consistent hours and a stable working environment
Opportunity to learn from a high-standard kitchen
A supportive, tight-knit team

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to get into hospitality or be part of a serious, quality-focused restaurant.
