Hygiene Supervisor – The Unsung Hero of the Kitchen

Behind every incredible meal, there’s a team working hard to keep things clean, safe, and ready for action. As our Hygiene Supervisor, you won’t just lead the cleaning — you’ll lead a culture of care, quality, and pride.

Think of yourself as the heartbeat of hygiene: leading by example, raising the bar, and making sure every surface, tool, and space shines. Your leadership helps others do their best work — and keeps our food, people, and customers safe every step of the way.

This role isn’t just about spotless surfaces. It’s about building a team that takes pride in excellence. It's about keeping operations moving. It’s about being the difference between “good enough” and “exceptional.”

Ready to lead a team that keeps everything running spotless and smooth? Step into a role where you’ll make a real impact — every day.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead and Lift Your Team Motivate and mentor Porters and Cleaners — including night teams — helping them take pride in their work, grow their skills, and feel part of something bigger.

• Set the Gold Standard Keep hygiene tasks organized, on-time, and in line with food safety, health & safety, and legal requirements. Spot a slip? You’ll catch it before it becomes a problem.

• Keep Calm, Keep Clean Create clean, calm spaces that support high performance and boost team confidence — especially when the pressure's on.

• Be the Boss of Supplies Take charge of cleaning stock, PPE, and chemicals — making sure we’ve got what we need, and nothing goes to waste.

• Work Smarter, Not Harder Look for clever, cost-effective ways to improve systems, save time, and keep standards sky-high.
