Salary: OTE £34,414.38 per annum (OTE £17.70 per hour) including tronc.

Hours: 40 hours per week, including any paid overtime.

A Junior Sous role at THE PIG is like no other. We use local suppliers within a 25-mile radius, our own homegrown kitchen garden produce and a lot of love to create our menus, which change all the time. Our Senior Chefs are passionate and above all driven to provide our guests with an unforgettable dining experience, creativity is what we do best.

Our chefs are chatty people, having constant conversations with the gardeners, local farmers, butchers, and fishmongers about what is available and what is in season.

Our kitchens are fast paced and energetic, which is what we look for in an individual. Come with enthusiasm, your knives and a bucketful of passion and we can help you develop the rest.

You will assist the Sous Chef and the Head Chef in the running of the kitchen, managing one of the 4 sections, providing new ideas for the menu, and managing health and safety, ordering and rotas.

We’re seeking Junior Sous with confidence and ability to support a dynamic team. Our Junior Sous can experience what we offer at more than one of our properties, as well as having the opportunity to step up into a Senior Sous role.

Knowledge of all areas of the kitchen is essential. We want you to be as passionate about modern British food and sustainability as we are. Previous experience in a similar role is necessary.

Can you remember who inspired you to be a chef, can you do this for someone else and share your knowledge with the junior chefs?

We run an award-winning apprenticeship programme, as a Junior Sous you will take an active role in leading, teaching and inspiring the apprentices.

We are dedicated to making THE PIGs an inspiring, exciting, and fun place to work and in return for your commitment to us you can expect something a little different:

• Staff stays – free B&B.
