• Supporting smooth kitchen operations alongside the Sous Chef and Head Chef.
• Helping train and mentor junior kitchen staff.
• Ensuring compliance with food hygiene and health & safety standards.

• A passion for food and a flair for creativity – especially in fast-paced, dynamic environments.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Flexibility to work across varying shifts, including evenings and weekends.
• Enthusiasm to be part of a launch and help grow something special from the ground up.

What we offer:

• A chance to work in one of Bristol’s most inspiring and unique venues.
• Be part of a major restaurant relaunch and influence its future success.
• Career development and training through Elior’s award-winning internal programs.
