Hotel Kitchen - Team Member

Kitchen Team Member – Plymouth City Centre (Derrys Cross) Premier Inn

This isn’t just about cooking.
You’ll help prepare, cook and serve meals that become part of someone’s stay at Premier Inn because a good meal can make a great stay even better.
One minute you could be preparing breakfast before guests wake up. The next you’ll be helping the team through a busy dinner service.
If you enjoy working as part of a team and seeing the results of your work straight away, this could be the role for you.

Pay, hours and location
Pay: Up to £13.06 per hour
Contract: Fixed-term contract until 28/12/2026 – we don’t do zero-hours contracts.
Hours: 24 contracted hours per week.
Location: Plymouth City Centre (Derrys Cross) Premier Inn - Derrys Cross, Plymouth, Devon, PL1 1HA
Shifts: Includes evenings, weekends and busy guest periods.

What you’ll do
As a Kitchen Team Member you’ll help make sure every guest gets a meal they’ll enjoy. You’ll:

Prepare ingredients before service starts
Cook and plate meals during breakfast and dinner service
Help keep the kitchen clean, organised and ready for the next rush
Receive deliveries and keep stock where it should be
Work closely with the hotel team so service runs smoothly
Help make sure every meal leaves the kitchen looking right

This isn't a role where you’ll spend your shift hidden in the back washing up.
You’ll be part of a team that’s working together to deliver the meals our guests rely on.

You don’t need hotel experience
Some of our best Kitchen Team Members joined us from supermarkets, cafés, pubs, restaurants, warehouses and customer service jobs.
If you’re willing to learn, we’ll teach you the rest.
You might have worked as a:

Catering Assistant
Barista
Kitchen Porter
Retail Assistant
Warehouse Operative

This could be your first kitchen job or you may have worked in hospitality before.
What matters most is that you're reliable, enjoy working with others and don’t mind rolling your sleeves up when things get busy.

Why join Premier Inn?
Here you’ll learn far more than how to cook.
You’ll build kitchen skills, food safety knowledge and confidence working in a team.
Some people stay because they love the team. Others use the experience to move into other parts of Premier Inn. However far you want to go, we’ll help you get there.

What you’ll get

Fixed-term contract with guaranteed hours
Training and support from day one
Discounts on Premier Inn stays and more
Pension and savings schemes
Discounts on everyday shopping, travel and more
This could be your first role with us, or the start of something much bigger. As you build your skills and confidence, you'll have opportunities to learn, develop and explore different paths across Premier Inn.

Is this role right for you?
If you:

Like being busy
Enjoy working as part of a team
Take pride in doing things properly
Stay calm when the kitchen gets busy
Want a job where every shift goes quickly...

...we'd love to hear from you.
