Sous Chef - New Opportunity

This is an exciting chance to become part of a successful restaurant group in the UK. We're passionate about real cooking, and we're looking for someone who shares our enthusiasm. As Sous Chef, you'll be the Head Chef's right-hand person, leading and engaging the kitchen team to deliver exceptional results. You'll be responsible for leading shifts, ensuring the kitchen runs smoothly and safely, and upholding 5-star kitchen standards.


The Benefits

  • 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 We're Looking For

  • You're probably an existing Sous Chef, or perhaps a Junior Sous Chef/Assistant Kitchen Manager looking to take the next step in your career.
  • You'll have experience 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 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're 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, and others.
  • Epic communication skills with the ability to manage stakeholders and build rapport and trust (with our Ops Chefs and Ops Managers).
  • Strong knowledge of best practice around rota scheduling, sales, and labour forecasts, reporting, recruitment, HR, etc.
  • You'll have demonstrated successful delivery of training and recruitment for kitchen teams, including Apprentices, KPs, Chefs, Junior Sous Chefs, and Sous Chefs.
