40 to 45 hour contract, we are happy to negotiate 

Enhanced Company Pension Scheme

28 Days Holiday per year

What we look for in a Head Chef:

This role requires someone that can inspire a team, to bring out the potential and lead by example whilst being able to develop, cost and produce fresh seasonal menus for the variety of revenue streams within the business.

Have experience championing excellent service through quality food either as a Head Chef or in the position of Sous Chef

Demonstrate a passion for leading and developing a team

Be an active hands-on team player with excellent communication skills

Be responsible and able to manage the kitchen staff rota, training and all health and safety effectively at all times

Be able to demonstrate your creativity and ability to design and deliver new dishes for our menus and daily specials

Have a pro-active approach to driving sales and delivering growth, through engagement with both kitchen and front of house teams
