We’re looking for a hands-on Empanada Production Assistant to join our kitchen team and support our Empanada Chef in producing our popular handmade empanadas.
This is a great opportunity for someone with kitchen experience who is eager to learn, develop their skills, and grow with the role. You’ll work closely with our chef to prepare fillings, assemble empanadas, and bake them fresh for our shops and customers.

Assembling empanadas with care and consistency
Baking empanadas using a commercial oven
Keeping the kitchen organised, clean and efficient
Learning the full production workflow with the aim of eventually running production independently when needed

What We’re Looking For
Someone with previous kitchen experience
Experience baking and operating a commercial oven
Hardworking, focused and comfortable maintaining a good pace
Organised and reliable with a good eye for detail
Familiarity with empanadas (experience making them is a bonus!)
Someone keen to learn, take ownership and grow into the role
Why Work With Us?
40% staff discount
Be part of a supportive, values-driven team
Opportunity to grow with a fast-moving, mission-led business
Potential for this part-time role to develop into a full-time position
