Job description

As the world's largest family of luxury hotels, we take great pride in being genuine ambassadors of the InterContinental® brand. Shaped by decades of international know-how and local insight, our passion for luxury travel spans cultures and customs, inspiring us to create warm and refined experiences for those seeking a richer perspective on the world. Each of our hotels has its own distinctive style and sense of place, where we take every opportunity to deliver personal and meaningful guest experiences. If you would like to embrace a wider world of opportunities, we would be delighted to welcome you to the world's most international luxury hotel brand.

Located on Hayat Island, InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa is a luxury beachfront resort where island living meets authentic Arabian hospitality. Less than an hour from Dubai, the resort offers a refined yet relaxed escape surrounded by natural landscapes, open sea views, and powder-soft beaches. With a collection of rooms, villas, and residences, a variety of restaurants and bars, and award-winning spa and leisure facilities, we focus on creating thoughtful, personal, and memorable experiences for families, couples, and groups in a true resort setting.

Every plate has the potential to create a memory that lasts a lifetime for our guests. To deliver all this and more, we're looking for a Cook / Commis Chef with a passion for presentation, dedication to flavour and commitment to setting high standards from workspace to table and beyond.

A little taste of your day-to-day:

Every day is different, but you'll mostly be:

• Making every single meal a feast for the eyes and treat for the tastebuds
• Taking ownership for your workstation - keeping on top of supplies, equipment and waste
• Being cleaner than clean to meet or exceed local cleanliness and hygiene laws
• Helping with washing up and other kitchen duties where needed
• Taking on other ad-hoc duties like a true team player

What We need from you:

• The strength to lift, push and pull big objects up to 50lbs (23 kg) which can also involve bending and kneeling
• A good grasp of reading, writing and basic maths
• The flexibility to work night, weekend and holiday shifts
• Compliance with local laws on food handling and serving alcohol - you'll need to be above the minimum age required and fluent in the local language
• Great communication - you'll be warm, welcoming and easy to talk to

What you can expect from us:

We give our people everything they need to succeed. From a competitive salary that rewards all your hard work to a wide range of benefits designed to help you live your best work life - including a full uniform, impressive room discounts and some of the best training in the business.

Our mission is to welcome everyone and create inclusive teams where we celebrate difference and encourage colleagues to bring their whole selves to work. IHG Hotels & Resorts provides equal employment opportunities to applicants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or disability. We promote a culture of trust, support, and acceptance. Always welcoming different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

IHG gives every member of the team the room they need to belong, grow and make a difference in a collaborative environment. We know that to work well, we need to feel well - both inside and outside of work - and through our myWellbeing framework, we are committed to supporting wellbeing in your health, lifestyle, and workplace.

So, join us and you'll become part of our ever-growing global family.
