Kitchen Porter

Chefs Bay recruits kitchen porters on an ongoing basis for temporary, shift-based agency work at stadiums, hotels, contract caterers, care homes, and event venues.

This is casual agency work, not a permanent vacancy: there are no guaranteed hours and no fixed schedule. You choose shifts through the Ubeya app. Pay runs monthly through PAYE with weekly Earned Wage Access, so you can draw the pay you have already earned before payday, and holiday pay accrued. Pay is agreed per assignment before you accept a shift; typical UK agency pay for this role in 2026 is £12.71 to £16 per hour depending on venue and region.

Requirements: right to work in the UK (verified before first shift). No formal qualifications are needed; Level 2 Food Safety helps and we can arrange training. An Enhanced DBS applies on care or education sites (we arrange this where needed). References checked; most candidates are approved within 48 hours.

Locations: shifts at client venues across Merseyside, Greater Manchester, the East Midlands, and London, coordinated from our Wallasey, Manchester, Leicester, and London offices.

To apply, email your CV to [email protected] with the role name in the subject line, or register at chefsbay.co.uk/candidates/.
