- Support junior team members and contribute to a positive, team-focused environment
- Assist with stock control, ordering, and minimising waste
- Maintain high standards of hygiene, HACCP, and kitchen organisation
- Step up when required, gaining confidence in a more senior role
What We’re Looking For
- Experience as a Chef de Partie, Senior CDP, or Junior Sous Chef
- Someone ready to take the next step or consolidate their Sous Chef experience
- A chef who enjoys working across different service styles (not just one outlet)
- Passion for fresh food and delivering consistently good dishes
- A positive attitude and strong team mindset
- Ability to work in a busy but well-structured kitchen environment
- Willingness to learn, take feedback, and continue developing
Why Apply?
- A genuine step-up or development opportunity within a respected hotel
- Exposure to restaurant, bar, and banqueting service in one role
- Work in a structured, supportive kitchen with experienced leadership
- Opportunity to strengthen your all-round skillset in a busy but organised environment
