London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, United Kingdom Richmond Hill Hotel Full time

We are looking for an exceptional Sous Chef to come and join us at Richmond Hill.

Located in the heart of London’s greenest borough, we are an independently owned Georgian hotel, just a stone through from the royal park. This is London’s gateway to nature.

Our team are the heart and soul of everything we do at the hotel, and their hard work and dedication have earned us recognition from prestigious organizations such as The Sunday Times and The Caterer for being one of the leading employers in the industry.

The award-winning culture at the hotel is progressive, independent, and free-spirited - it’s just the fabric of the buildings that’s historic, not our approach to business. From our paint to our people, we are a refreshing break from the cookie-cutter hotel chain experience, and we encourage everyone to bring their authentic, best selves to work every day. It doesn’t take lavishness or luxury to make someone feel special. Instead, we believe it takes genuine care, thoughtfulness and a team empowered to be creative with their service. These are the qualities that keep our guests coming back time and again.

What’s in it for you....

  • You’ll enjoy a competitive annual salary from £35k, plus a monthly service charge averaging £450.
  • access to hundreds of online perks & discounts
  • free health cashback plan for you and your family
  • extra day’s holiday for every year you work for us (up to 5 additional days)
  • salary sacrifice schemes to help you buy a bike, laptop, or gym membership.
  • free use of our onsite gym, free meals on duty and free parking on site
  • bespoke career development through internal and external training schemes
  • refer a friend scheme, with up to £500 incentive.
  • hotel recognition Programme including our Employee of the Month and Manager of the Quarter awards, long service awards, rewards payments.
  • flexible working patterns, as well as much more…
