Sous Chef Opportunity

This is an exciting chance to become part of a successful restaurant group in the UK. We're looking for a skilled Sous Chef to join our team and help us deliver exceptional kitchen and food standards.


As a Sous Chef, you'll be the Head Chef's right-hand person, leading and engaging the kitchen team to deliver great results. You'll be responsible for leading shifts, ensuring the kitchen runs effectively and safely, and upholding 5-star kitchen standards.


The benefits of working with us include overtime pay, staff food on every shift, 50% off staff discount, paid breaks, and 28 days holiday pro rata. We also offer enhanced maternity and paternity pay, a company pension scheme, and opportunities for personal development and career progression.


We're looking for someone with experience as a Sous Chef or Junior Sous Chef/Assistant Kitchen Manager. You'll need to have good chef/kitchen skills, a strong work ethic, and the ability to lead from the front. You should be familiar with KPIs and making decisions in the absence of the Head Chef.


If you're passionate about real cooking and want to be part of a dynamic team, we'd love to hear from you.


What We Offer

  • Overtime pay for every hour worked over contracted hours
  • Staff food on every shift
  • 50% off staff discount to enjoy outside working hours from day one
  • Paid breaks
  • 28 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays) pro rata
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity pay after 2 years service
  • The most talked-about staff party in hospitality - Loungefest
  • Competitions and incentives (like jetting off on an all expenses paid trip with one of our suppliers)
  • Company pension scheme
  • Long service awards
  • Power over your pay with Wagestream
  • Emotional and practical support via the Licenced Trade Charity
  • Great opportunity for personal development and career progression in a fast growing business
  • Achievable bonuses
  • Tips shared equally across the team, based on hours worked
  • Christmas and Boxing Day off

What You'll Bring

  • You are probably an existing Sous Chef, or perhaps a Junior Sous Chef/Assistant Kitchen Manager that is looking to take the next step in their career.
  • You will have experience of working with fresh ingredients and be able to demonstrate good chef/kitchen skills (food prep hot and cold, cleaning, knife skills, good hygiene practices)
  • Your work ethic is rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in and leading from the front; playing an active role in delivering excellent kitchen and food standards as part of a high performing team.
  • Extremely driven and relentless at deconstructing the can't mentality.
  • Familiar with KPIs and making decisions in the absence of the Head Chef considering labour; stock; food safety requirements plus others.
  • Epic communication skills with the ability to manage stakeholders and build rapport and trust (that would be with our Ops Chefs and Ops Managers).
  • Strong knowledge of best practice around rota scheduling, sales and labour forecasts, reporting, recruitment, HR etc.
  • You will have demonstrated successful delivery of training and recruitment for kitchen teams including Apprentices, KPs, Chefs, Junior Sous Chefs and Sous Chefs.
