Ballachulish, United Kingdom Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels Full time

One of the family...

The clue is in the name. We’re a family business through and through – family owned, family run, with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small and all offer good food & drink, great beds and a ton of outdoor and indoor things to do and a fun place to work.

The Kingshouse Hotel

The Kingshouse Hotel is part landmark hotel, part adventurer’s bunkhouse – slap-bang in Glencoe and on Scotland’s world-famous West Highland Way. We have 57 bedrooms offering a great night’s sleep plus the bunkhouse offering shared rooms, a restaurant and two bars. Everyone is welcome and everyone will feel at home.

Our estate-to-plate ethos runs through all our restaurant and bar menus. Inspired by our location and Scotland’s abundant land and sea larder we use the best of ingredients to guarantee our guests an exceptional experience, brimming with Scottish hospitality and flavour.

About the role

You’ll train and motivate our team of chefs - have an eye for quality, consistency and portion control. A great coach, mentor and communicator, you’ll pass on your passion and knowledge of food to the team and be able to step up and lead the team in the Head Chef’s absence.

You’ll also build good relationships with the front of house team to make sure our guests get an exceptional customer experience.

What we need from you:

Sous Chef Experience – in similar 4 or 5 star setting Leadership – a natural leader- we want happy, confident, motivated teams Passion – an obvious enthusiasm for Scottish Food produce and menu development Business Acumen – you’ll understand GP and manage budgets Standards – the serious bit…you’ll have a good knowledge of Health and Safety Creativity - we want you to bring your flair and individuality to the table Team focus – there are no egos here, just hard-working people who love creating memorable experiences for every guest Ideas and openness – we’re up for doing things differently and will try (almost) everything once Fun and easy to talk to – we’re looking for personality, not a corporate clone Flexibility – there’s no problem you can’t fix

What you'll get from us

The chance to work in a friendly, forward thinking company with investment as a priority. Great benefits – including pension, and discounts on leisure membership, food and hotel stays Live in accommodation may be available Uniform – We’ll provide full uniform

Getting here

We’re only a 40 minute drive from Fort William and 1 hour from Oban

For those wanting to use public transport, you can catch a bus just five minutes from the Hotel. Buses also go from here to Glasgow/Edinburgh or North through the Highlands to Inverness – a couple of hours either way. There’s up to eight a day in summer and a few less in winter so good for getting away on your days off.
