We’re about much more than hospitality! We’re striving to make life better for people – whether they are team, guests or community, through our everyday actions and decisions. Our team care for others, bring their best and help us move forward, whatever job they do.
Our Sous Chefs (SC) are a pivotal part of our kitchen teams, working with the Head Chef, kitchen, Front of House teams and the General Manager to deliver great hospitality and experiences to our guest and the team.
The SC is passionate about their craft and all aspects of Kitchen Management and food experiences. With responsibility for all aspects of the day-to-day Kitchen operation and team in the absence of the HC, the SC works with their chefs to deliver a high quality of dishes across the restaurant, functions and other food outlets whilst maintaining a high level of profitability. They are financially aware and have built a relationship with suppliers to ensure the quality of produce is delivered.
Leading from the front, guiding and developing their teams they deliver consistent standards of cleanliness, tidiness and food service as well as an engaged and motivated team. Our SC’s can be found guiding a young chef de partie through a new dish, designing menus and daily specials with the Head Chef or running their pass in a wedding.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS:

As an experienced Sous Chef you will have a level 2 in food hygiene and experience of all current legislation although this is not the most important requirement for us.
Our Sous Chef’s have a passion for high quality food and food service as well as being a confident leader and mentor for your team. You can clearly demonstrate strong organisational and management skills and have experience of working in both Restaurant service as well as running a function kitchen for a variety of functions and events.
Your attention to detail is first class, allowing you to recognise potential problems, identify and action effective solutions and with your effective communication skills.
As our Sous Chef you are not heard shouting at team members who have made mistakes or get annoyed with the Front of House team if communication is not correct. Your team are not left to clean up after service on their own, nor do they expect them to do anything you wouldn’t do yourself.

SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE WILL BE DEFINED BY:

Our Teams are multi-skilled enabling them to work in all sections of the kitchen as well as being committed to developing their knowledge at every opportunity. The Kitchen team have a strong and effective working relationship with the front of house team in the venue, meaning clear communication at all times and appreciation of the challenges facing both teams.
Guests give positive feedback on the standard of food, the variety of menus and the speed and quality of service received.
The Kitchen consistently exceeds cleanliness, health and safety and food hygiene standards and all members of our team are aware of standards required, consistently working towards these and taking ownership of their role.
Our HC and Sous Chef work with their team to be sustainably responsible with our suppliers and food wastage achieving financial profitability and budget requirements.
Skill and experience are necessary to do this job, but more than anything else, we want someone who shares our vision of a hospitality industry that is better and sees themselves being part of the team who can make this happen!
We pay a fair wage – with our hourly pay being higher than the Government rates, at a minimum. Your earnings will be further enhanced by our 10% service charges and other tips that guests leave – with 100% of tips being retained by the team.
