  • You have experience working with fresh ingredients and can 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).
