If you’re looking to develop your career in a stunning hotel and a highly awarded kitchen, our Chef de Partie role at the luxury Dormy House Hotel in the Cotswolds could be the perfect next step for you.
Dormy House boasts two restaurants, The Back Garden (3 AA rosettes, Michelin Guide listed) and our “chef’s table” 12 seater tasting restaurant MO (4 AA rosettes, Michelin Guide listed) and our successful candidate will have the opportunity to work within both.

We offer an excellent package of just under £37,000 per year (£34,195 basic, plus £3-£3,500 per year service charge). We can also offer live in accommodation, a 5 minute drive from the hotel. Our 500 acre Estate of three award-winning hotels and kitchens (including 5 AA red star Foxhill Manor and 4 AA red star The Fish) is the perfect place to develop and learn.

We also offer a raft of excellent benefits including:

• Broad ranging careers in all the usual hotel departments and a few you wouldn’t expect…like our adventure team
• Fully funded apprenticeship opportunities

Due to our rural location, you will require your own transport (WR12 7LJ). If this sounds like your ideal next move, and you would like to discuss this role or any other opportunities on our estate, please do get in touch! We look forward to hearing from you.
We are members of the Hoteliers Charter, and are committed to providing a workplace built on respect, fairness, equality, diversity and opportunity, and to putting wellness and career development at the heart of what we do
