Love the smell of fresh coffee and homemade cake? Enjoy getting stuck into a busy kitchen? We’re looking for a Kitchen Assistant to join our friendly Coffee Shop team at Stewarts Abbey Garden Centre in Titchfield!

  • Getting involved in baking (and maybe a bit of cake decorating!).
  • Supporting the team during busy service times.
  • Keeping everything clean, organised, and running like clockwork.

What We're Looking For:

Someone who..

  • Is upbeat, reliable, and ready to get stuck in.
  • Is a team player and enjoys working in a fast-paced environment.
  • Has a passion for serving and producing home cooked food (especially cake!)
  • Has some baking or cake decorating experience.

What It's Like Working at Stewarts:

  • Supportive and friendly working environment.
  • A family-run business with strong values and heritage.
  • A great active role where no two days are ever the same!

Benefits:

  • Generous staff discount in garden centres and cafés (following probationary period).
  • Free on-site parking and uniform.
  • Additional day off to celebrate your birthday!
  • Opportunities to build your kitchen and baking skills.
