  • Flexible Working Hours: We understand the importance of work-life balance and offer flexibility in your schedule.
  • Generous Staff Discount: Enjoy 50% off food and drink across all our sister venues.
  • Meals on Shift: Keep energized with complimentary meals during your shifts.
  • Well-being Support: Your mental health matters, and we provide access to well-being programs and support services.
  • Team Socials: We regularly host team-building events and socials to keep the camaraderie strong and celebrate our achievements.
  • Christmas Break: We understand that you don't live to work, you work to live, and all of our teams get Christmas Day and Boxing Day off as standard.

What You'll Bring:

  • You are a highly motivated and experienced Sous Chef, or perhaps a Junior Sous Chef/Assistant Kitchen Manager looking to take the next step in your career.
  • You will have experience of working with fresh ingredients and be able to demonstrate good chef/kitchen skills, including food prep, hot and cold, cleaning, knife skills, and good hygiene practices.
  • Your work ethic is about rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in, leading from the front, and playing an active role in delivering excellent kitchen and food standards as part of a high-performing team.
  • You are extremely driven and relentless in your pursuit of excellence, with a strong focus on deconstructing the 'can't mentality'.
  • You are familiar with KPIs and making decisions in the absence of the Head Chef, considering labour, stock, food safety requirements, and other key factors.
  • You have epic communication skills, with the ability to manage stakeholders and build rapport and trust with our Ops Chefs and Ops Managers.
  • You have a strong knowledge of best practice around rota scheduling, sales and labour forecasts, reporting, recruitment, HR, and other key areas.
  • You have demonstrated successful delivery of training and recruitment for kitchen teams, including Apprentices, KPs, Chefs, Junior Sous Chefs, and Sous Chefs.

Location: Bordo Lounge, Carlisle

We believe in creating opportunities for our team to thrive and progress. If you're eager to develop your skills and take the next step in your career, we'd love to hear from you.
