Part-time Cdp

**Job description.**

We are currently seeking a part-time CDP to join the team at our tasting menu restaurant in Brighton. Dilsk is a fine dining restaurant that opened in April and is headed by Chef Tom Stephens. It has already been recognised by the Michelin Guide, and has received 5 star reviews across the board. The person we are looking for should be someone who has a drive to learn and progress under Stephens, and whom ideally already has some experience in the fine dining world. Having trained under Tom Kerridge and Simon Rogan, and most recently perfected the tasting menu at 64 Degrees in Brighton, this is Tom’s first restaurant and requires a team member that shares his passion and drive in the kitchen. We pride ourselves in delivering an exciting tasting menu, with efficient, knowledgeable, and warm service that is delivered from both the front of house and kitchen.

**The role**:

- In the role of CDP, you will be expected to carry out prep in all departments to a very high level and be an integral part of the team during service.
- Dilsk solely offers 2 tasting menus of high quality, so there are many different skill sets you will be expected to learn.
- We are a very small team, so being a team player is vital at all times and an input into dish development will be expected.
- The role will consist of around 20-30 hours, mostly over Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The rate of pay will be based on the hours worked and will be negotiable depending on experience and the final responsibilities undertaken.

**Who we are looking for**:

- Dilsk is a restaurant founded on a dream and passion shared by both owners, and we are looking for a team member who wants to be part of that. We want someone who has a real interest in food, and a willingness to be guided by Tom, and to learn from him.
- We require someone who is driven to improve their knowledge and skills. We will be able to provide some great training opportunities, so an eagerness to grow will be imperative.
- You will form a crucial part of our team, so being able to be a team player, and bringing a positive attitude will always be expected of you.
- For this particular role we will require a good level of food knowledge and preferably some experience of fine dining. There is real potential for career growth in this role, and it could be the stepping stone to future career prospects.

**Extra perks to the job.**
- Enjoy a discount when eating at the restaurant.
- Regular training both in house and from external experts in wine and produce.
- Cash tips divided on shift.
- Staff incentives, including trips to local suppliers.
- Flexible working hours.
- Opportunities to progress and increase your role and responsibilities.

Start date will be the beginning of January.
