Senior Head Chef

5 days ago


Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, United Kingdom Harrods Full time

We are currently looking for a Senior Head Chef to join our Restaurants and Kitchens team.
Here at Harrods, we currently house more celebrity chefs, and exclusive dining brands than any other location in the UK. You will be joining a passionate, supportive, and award-winning dining team, all within our iconic Knightsbridge store.

About the Role

The Senior Head Chef is responsible for leading their cluster of restaurants in the business in a manner that will ensure that a professional and correct operation is always carried out. You will drive quality in our food and ensure that the required specs are delivered on a daily basis through tasting and being present in the operations.
By focussing on running world class operations relevant to their outputs, you'll ensure that we have the right talent in the right places, and foster a mentoring relationship with the team to coach skills and drive a committed and positive culture in all areas. Additionally, you'll be responsible for supporting your restaurant cluster to consistently meet our KPIs based on waste, stock, margin and pay to sales.

About You

You'll be a hands-on Chef, with a strong track record of hospitality experience working at a senior level within a prestigious 5* hotel or best-in-class restaurant environment. You'll need to have a passion for driving operational excellence and have the confidence and knowledge to challenge the norm to raise the bar in all that we do.
Additionally, you'll have great time-management skills and a strong customer focus when dealing with both internal and external parties. You'll have exceptional interpersonal skills and a good attention to detail, which will be evident through paperwork completed, organisation of department and sufficient stock levels. Having good PC literacy is a must (Word, Excel and preferably SAP).

About Us

As the world's leading luxury retail emporium, we make the impossible possible, and our hospitality offer is evolving and expanding rapidly across our stores. We are a welcoming and close-knit family who are passionate about food and beverage and aim to craft dining experiences that are the highlight of our customers' visits.

Our Promise to You

Help us make the impossible possible for our customers and we'll do something remarkable for you. As well as offering a friendly environment to inspire your best work, we provide abundant opportunities and support to build an exceptional career across the varied specialisms of our business.

In return for your hard work as a Senior Head Chef, you will receive some great benefits including:

  • Competitive annual salary plus annual KPI bonus.
  • Sociable working hours (minimal late finishes)
  • 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays), plus your birthday off
  • Up to 33% in-store discount
  • Generous pension scheme
  • Great learning and development opportunities to help further your career, and much more

Uniquely You

Whilst our job adverts outline the ideal qualities, skills, and prior experience for the role, we believe in the potential for growth and value individual strengths. If you can demonstrate the majority of skills and strong experience to thrive in this role, we would encourage you to apply.

At Harrods we believe the personality and authenticity of our people sets us apart. We celebrate and invite applications from all cultures, backgrounds, tastes, and experiences and are proud of our culture where people from all walks of life can grow and thrive. What makes you unique makes us exceptional.
