Job description

We are a bold, award-winning business who pride ourselves in giving our chefs the freedom to create premium, seasonal menus that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment. We run friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards; always striving to be the best we can be.

We are looking for a Junior Sous Chef to join the family.

A quintessential British country inn set in the heart of the Dorset downlands. Dine with us for seasonal fresh and consistently high quality food or join us in the bar for a pint of local ale or a glass of fine wine!

What’s in it for you?

1. Work/Life balance! This role can be done over 3-4 days if you prefer! People want and need flexibility - we will help you achieve that!
2. The chance to work for an award-winning business and to cook some of the best, most innovative pub food in the industry. We have won the Best Food Offer (2019 & 2020) and Best Managed Pub Company (2021) at The UK Publican Awards plus further menu development awards.
3. Access to Liberation Life - an incredible platform where you can earn cash-back with major retailers, save money on your purchases including holidays, groceries, gifts and much more!
4. The opportunity to work for a diverse, eclectic company and gain experience in a range of kitchens and menus. We take a collaborative approach to menu development, giving you autonomy over dishes in your kitchen.
5. A competitive salary plus an equal share of great tips.
6. Access to industry-leading training and development. We offer bespoke training plans as part of our ‘Pillars of Progression’ programme; we want you to be our next head chefs… or anything you want to be!
7. We offer additional support and coaching from our executive chef team and head chefs.
8. You will work closely with some of the best locally sourced fresh ingredients; executing technical skills that reflect our premium food menus.
9. We will back with you the tools you need to do a great job and have invested significantly in our kitchens.
10. The buzz that comes with team parties, events, training courses, great suppliers and some of the industry’s best team rewards, discounts and benefits (including 50% off food on shift).
11. A business who cares about you. We are ambassadors for the Burnt Chef Project, fighting the stigma of mental health and working with them to train and support our teams. We also offer an Employee Assistance Program that is there 24/7 to provide you with support.
