Junior Sous Chef – Wexford

Our client is a busy, quality-led hospitality venue known for its energetic kitchen, strong team culture, and consistently high food standards. With a focus on fresh, well-executed dishes and a fast-paced service style, this is an environment where chefs can develop quickly while still enjoying stability and structure.

They are now looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Junior Sous Chef – ideal for a strong Chef de Partie or Senior CDP looking to broaden their experience and step into a more involved, all-round kitchen role.

The Role

This is a hands-on position within a supportive kitchen where you’ll gain exposure to all areas of the operation – from prep and service through to ordering, organisation, and team support.

Rather than stepping straight into a purely managerial role, this opportunity offers a chance to build confidence, sharpen skills, and grow into leadership naturally, all while working as part of a well-structured and experienced team.

You’ll be involved across multiple service periods, giving you excellent variety and the chance to strengthen your all-round ability in a busy kitchen.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with senior chefs to support the smooth day-to-day running of the kitchen
• Prepare and cook dishes with a strong focus on quality, consistency, and presentation
• Take ownership of sections during service and build confidence across different areas of the kitchen
• Assist during busy service periods, ensuring dishes are delivered efficiently and to a high standard
• Support junior chefs and help maintain a positive, team-driven environment
• Get involved in menu ideas, specials, and seasonal changes
• Assist with stock control, ordering, and kitchen organisation
• Maintain high standards of cleanliness, food safety, and HACCP compliance
• Work across different sections, developing a well-rounded skillset
• Contribute to a “clean as you go” culture and well-organised kitchen environment

What We’re Looking For

• Experience as a Chef de Partie or strong Commis ready to step up
• A chef who is eager to learn, develop, and take on more responsibility over time
• A genuine passion for food and improving your craft
• Someone who enjoys working in a busy, team-focused kitchen
• Strong work ethic and a hands-on attitude
• Good organisation and attention to detail
• Ability to stay calm and focused during service
• Willingness to learn all aspects of kitchen operations, not just one section

Why Apply?

• A genuine step-up opportunity with structured support and development
• Chance to build experience across all areas of a busy kitchen
• Work within a strong, supportive team where learning is encouraged
• A varied role with exposure to different service styles
• Opportunity to grow naturally into leadership without pressure
• Stable, well-run kitchen environment with consistent standards
