Kitchen Porter – North East – Able to Travel
Adkins & Cheurfi are currently looking for experienced Kitchen Porters to join our strong team of back of house staff. Working as an agency kitchen porter provides the opportunity for flexibility in the shifts that you work, meaning you will never have to accept a shift you don’t want.
