Cafe Production Assistant (fixed-term)
Café Ubé

Description
Healthy, homemade, and freshly prepared: at Café Ubé, every soup, sandwich, salad, and wrap is prepared that day by our dedicated team of early risers in the café production kitchen.

As a company, we look for hard-working, friendly, and personable team members who hold the highest standards of kitchen hygiene and can become an indispensable part of a kitchen team. Experience is preferred, but an ability to learn quickly and hit the ground running is just as important.

This is a fixed-term role, with start dates between March and May 2025, and end dates between September and October 2025. It is based in our production kitchen in St Helier, and candidates must be prepared to start some shifts at 4:00am.

What we offer:

This role has a basic hourly rate of £14.13 (equivalent to an annual salary of £29,390), plus an additional 6.12% to cover annual leave, giving a total rate of £14.99 per hour. JPRestaurants offer 40-hour-per-week contracts, giving a gross salary of £2,598 per month, plus paid overtime. In addition, employees with a full airside pass receive an additional £1.00 per hour when working at our outlets at Jersey Airport. 

Our employees also have access to a generous benefits package, including:
• Meals provided while on duty
• Staff discount across our restaurant and café businesses
• Christmas Day off, as well as your birthday (after one year’s employment)

In addition, employees with a full airside pass receive an additional £1.00 per hour when working at our outlets at Jersey Airport.

Right to work:

For this advertised role, we invite applications from both candidates either:
• who have an immediate right to work in Jersey or the United Kingdom (UK or Irish passport, EU Settled or Pre-Settled Status, or Indefinite Leave to Remain)
• who are from visa-free countries (including all of the European Union, and many North American countries) or
• who may require a work permit and visa

Candidates from visa-free countries would only need a work permit for this role, which can take up to 3 weeks.
 
For candidates who would require a visa to travel to the United Kingdom and Jersey, the full process of obtaining and visa can take between 6 and 12 weeks.

The contract and work permit for this role would be for a duration of six months or less.


Contract and hours:

This is a fixed-term, full-time role (with minimum, contracted hours of an average of 40 hours per week across the month). Our teams are working up to 50 hours per week during busy periods, with all overtime paid.

Fixed-term contracts for nationals of visa-free countries are for up to six months.

A work-life balance is important to everyone in the business and, while we appreciate when colleagues can help out further in busier periods, we strive to ensure that everyone works a 5-day week on a regular basis.


Accommodation:

The Company can arrange accommodation for those moving to Jersey. Accommodation is more expensive in Jersey than other parts of the British Isles, and accommodation in the local market ranges from approximately £700 (single room) to £1,500 (one-bedroom flat) per month.

Our business:

JPRestaurants operates restaurants and cafes in Jersey (Channel Islands, British Isles), serving fresh, innovative, and healthy food to thousands of customers and visitors each year.

Our restaurants offer premium-casual dining experiences in unique and captivating settings: Oyster Box, on the edge of St Brelade’s Bay, Banjo, a grand brasserie in the heart of St Helier, and Jersey Crab Shack, also on the beach of St Brelade’s Bay. Our Café Ubé outlets (located at Jersey Airport, Elizabeth Ferry Terminal, and across St Helier) serve a range of coffees, hot and cold drinks, and fresh and homemade Grab & Go breakfast and lunch items.

We offer fantastic choice for customers with allergies and dietary requirements, and provide our teams with detailed specifications and information for addressing queries. Across all of our restaurants and cafes, we’ve placed an emphasis on digitalisation and processes, in order to enhance our customers’ experience, ensure our service runs smoothly, and build a better working environment for our colleagues.

JPRestaurants has over 75 years of history, starting in 1946 as a small, family-owned pottery studio which become one of the Island's busiest and most popular tourist attractions. The coffee bar on the site of the ceramics factory and showroom was the beginning of Jersey Pottery Restaurants (which is now called JPRestaurants), which is still family-owned and managed by the third generation. As an established and popular local business, we look to work for the benefit of our community and environment through careful management of our suppliers, good working conditions, and initiatives to support others less fortunate than us.
