At Ottolenghi, we're known for vibrant food, busy delis, and restaurants full of energy — but what really matters is our people. We create environments where teams feel supported, take pride in what they do, and deliver a genuinely warm experience to every guest.
Our Central Production Unit on Holloway Road is the team that keeps every Ottolenghi venue running smoothly. It's a hands-on, people-first environment, and some roles may involve travel to our sites.
What You’ll Do

  • Receive and manage deliveries for all departments across the CPU
  • Ensure deliveries are directed to the correct department and alert the relevant manager when they arrive
  • Check deliveries for damaged ingredients, broken packaging or other quality issues and report these promptly
  • Organise and rotate stock using the FIFO (first in, first out) method
  • Regularly check best-before dates and highlight any stock concerns
  • Assist with warehouse orders and monthly stock takes, bringing any imminent shortages to the attention of the managers
  • Prepare daily warehouse orders for our Ottolenghi sites, including bagged products, jars and other items
  • Print delivery notes and ensure all orders are clearly labelled for drivers
  • Prepare deliveries according to daily store orders, ensuring crate labels are clearly visible

  • Pack and vacuum-pack dry ingredients for warehouse orders where required
  • Keep the warehouse clean, tidy and well organised, including shelves and floors
  • Dispose of empty cardboard boxes and unnecessary pallets safely
  • Follow all company procedures relating to food safety, allergens, hygiene and workplace health and safety

What We’re Looking For

  • Excellent organisational skills and strong attention to detail
  • A positive attitude, strong work ethic and flexible approach
  • Good physical strength and stamina, with the ability to work in a hands-on environment
  • An understanding of stock management, rotation and the importance of accurate stock levels
  • A good understanding of food hygiene, allergens and health & safety
  • Mature, confident and resourceful, with the ability to work independently
  • Comfortable working under pressure in a busy environment
  • A reliable team player who is happy to support different departments when needed

What You’ll Need

  • Level 2 Food Safety
  • Workplace Health & Safety training
  • Basic Fire Safety
  • Allergen Awareness

What’s in it for you?

  • 28 days annual leave per year, inclusive of bank holidays
  • Delicious Ottolenghi staff meals on shift and generous staff discount
  • Health and well-being support through our HSF healthcare plan (covering dental, optical, physiotherapy, and more), plus a 24/7 GP helpline and access to Perkbox discounts
  • Refer a Friend Bonus: £500 for each successful referral
  • Learning & Development opportunities including management coaching, WSET wine training, Ottolenghi Chef’s Academy workshops, and access to external courses
  • A warm, inclusive working culture where individuality, growth, and creativity are celebrated
  • Enhanced Parental Pay after two years’ service
  • A special birthday treat to celebrate your day
  • Exclusive workshops and demos, including cooking, food, wine, and cocktail sessions in the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen
