The posting

Your mission

This role is based at Clink Noord, a in a design-led, social youth hostel that’s known for events, community, and bringing people together from all over the world. We welcome international travellers year-round, and we’re big on the kind of hostel experience where strangers end up becoming friends.

Your profile

Your role as our Junior Chef is central to keeping our guests fuelled, happy and coming back for more. From nailing a great breakfast service to batch-cooking hearty meals for large group bookings, you'll bring creativity and consistency to everything that comes out of our kitchen. You're actively managing kitchen operations, maintaining food safety compliance, minimising waste, and collaborating closely with our F&B and front-of-house teams. Your job is making sure travellers are well fed and that our kitchen runs smoothly — from a quiet weekday morning to a packed Saturday night.

What you'll actually be doing:

  • Deliver consistently great food – prepare and serve quality dishes across breakfast, lunch and dinner service with speed, consistency and care, whether it's for a solo traveller or a group of 80
  • Manage kitchen operations day-to-day – take ownership of prep, service and close-down, keeping the kitchen clean, organised and running to schedule
  • Cook for all scales – adapt confidently between small café-style plates and large batch cooking for group bookings, school trips, tours and hostel events
  • Ensure food safety & compliance – maintain HACCP records, ensure all food is handled, stored and served in line with Irish food hygiene regulations, and keep the kitchen audit-ready at all times
  • Drive waste reduction – plan prep and portion sizes to minimise food waste, track usage, and implement smart stock rotation using FIFO principles
  • Manage Stock & Ordering – monitor stock levels, flag shortages, assist with weekly ordering and work closely with suppliers to ensure quality ingredients arrive on time
  • Maintain Allergen Awareness – ensure every dish is accurately labelled and that the team can clearly communicate allergen information to guests with dietary requirements
  • Support Events and Group Catering – liaise with the reservations and events team to plan and execute catering for hostel events, private groups and large bookings

You are:

  • A trained and experienced chef with at least 1 years' experience in a professional kitchen
  • Fully up to date with food safety requirements — a Food Safety qualification is a must
  • Calm and efficient under pressure, whether it's a quiet Tuesday or a 100-guest group dinner
  • Comfortable cooking across a range of dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and common allergens
  • Organised and proactive — you don't wait to be told when something needs doing
  • A team player who communicates well with front-of-house, bar and management
  • Passionate about good food and making the most of seasonal, budget-conscious ingredients
  • Someone who takes pride in a clean, well-run kitchen
  • Excited to work with a diverse team that celebrates individuality and different perspectives

Why us?

What you get:

  • Free and discounted accommodation for you, discounted stays for friends and family
  • 50% off select Food and Beverage
  • €400 backpacker experience when you hit your 1-year anniversary
  • Up to 20 hours of paid volunteering per year
  • Employee Referral Scheme

They're the same people who'd want to stay here. You'll join a team who are genuinely invested in what happens here and who shows up. We celebrate individuality, support your growth, and give you a proper voice in how things work. Expect social events worth showing up to, and benefits that matter.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
