Job Description

The Bath Priory (part of the Brownsword family of hotels) has a great location in Bath, just a short walk from the city centre, with a bus stop right outside. The hotel is stunning, a Georgian house with 33 bedrooms built in honey-coloured Bath stone and is surrounded by four acres of multi-award-winning gardens. We are proud to have won awards at 5-star level for over ten years and we are seeking sparkling new personalities to join our family.

Come and join our team as a Sous Chef and let your passion and personality shine.

Our culture is important to us, and we encourage everyone in our teams to show thoughtfulness towards each other and our guests.

As a Sous Chef, you will be working alongside the Head Chef to run a busy kitchen, creating exciting and delicious dishes to be served to guests. This role would suit someone who has worked in a similar environment previously.

Qualifications

Check out some of the key points about the role:

1. As a skilled chef, you’ll get to really put those knife skills to the test, cooking with the finest of ingredients.
2. We want to keep everyone safe, so you’ll need to keep up to date with the latest allergen training.
3. Being one team, everyone in the kitchen is responsible for keeping it clean.
4. Nobody wants out of date food, so labelling your food is important.
5. As an experienced chef, we encourage you to share your knowledge with new, budding Junior Sous, CDP’s, KP’s and Commis coming into the industry.
6. You’ll be responsible for managing the kitchen in the absence of the Head Chef.
7. Along with the Head Chef, you’ll write the allergen matrix, to ensure that all our guests are kept safe.
8. We can’t run out of food, so it’s important to keep on top of ordering, via Procure Wizard.

Work/life balance is important to us all, so we will always try to be fair with our rotas. We just ask that you can be flexible with us, so we can be flexible with you in return.
