Job description

We’re looking for a talented and driven Junior Sous Chef to join the team at Tutto in Brighton.

Part of the Black Rock Restaurant group: serving up all the flavours of Italy, all the relaxed buzz of Brighton.
Remember your first bowl of linguine alle vongole, the duck ragu at a Tuscan roadside cafe that blew your mind, aged Parmesan cut from a wheel at the table, eating warm grape focaccia from a paper bag in Monterosso?
Tutto is built on Italian food memories – ours and yours. In the elegant surroundings of a former banking hall, you’ll find all the things you love about eating and drinking in Italy: the open-armed welcome, the long chats over good wine, tomatoes that taste of sunshine, endless laughter and great times with family and friends.

This is a great opportunity for a chef who thrives in a busy kitchen, takes pride in cooking with fresh, quality ingredients and is ready to take the next step in their career. You’ll be confident running the pass during busy services, keeping the kitchen organised and ensuring every dish leaving the kitchen is delivered to the highest standard.

You’ll be a natural leader with a cool head under pressure, excellent communication skills and the ability to support and motivate the team around you. Most importantly, you’ll have a genuine passion for fresh food, great service and working as part of a strong kitchen team.
