3 days ago

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

Our Chefs are an integral part of our Production Kitchen. They ensure that our world-class food halls and deli counters are stocked with mesmerizing products ready for our customers to take away and serve at home, each and every day. We are now looking for a Senior Sous Chef to join this award-winning team, based in store in Knightsbridge.

About the Role

As a Senior Sous Chef, you'll be responsible for the day to day operations of your brigade to ensure the highest quality of product is being produced. By leading your team and assisting the Head Chef in all managerial duties, you'll be responsible for setting daily production levels, monitoring all goods received from internal and external vendors, whilst ensuring that quality standards are met. You'll manage the day-to-day administration and production ensuring compliance to internal systems including SAP.

In this role, you'll also be responsible for effective storage, ordering food stock and planning production levels to minimise wastage and ensure that stock checks are completed in a timely manner. By adhering to all Health & Safety regulations and procedures, you'll set a high standard of food safety in the daily operations.

About You

You'll have a strong track record of hospitality experience, preferably within a high volume catering environment. You'll need to be confident in leading your team to drive food quality and ensure specs are followed always. Having a great knowledge and passion for food and drink is essential, as you'll work closely with the Head Chef to create new recipes and product lines for retail sale.

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. By coaching, inspiring and motivating the team, you'll be able to demonstrate effective leadership and management skills. Reporting to the Head Chef, you'll build effective relationships with support functions including Food Halls, Restaurants, Food Safety, Distribution and HR. 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 Sous Chef, you'll learn every aspect of working in a busy, premier kitchen and will receive some great benefits including:

  • Competitive annual salary package including service charge
  • Sociable working hours (daytime shifts only)
  • Set contracted hours - paid additional working hours at an overtime rate of 1.5 p/h
  • Discounted Staff Canteen
  • 33 days' annual leave + birthday off
  • Up to 33% Harrods discount
  • Generous pension
  • Great learning and development opportunities

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.
