Job description

The Ned and Ned's Club are a global collection of hotels, clubs, spas, and restaurants for like-minded individuals to meet, work and have a good time. The Ned launched in 2017 in the heart of the City, in the former Midland Bank headquarters. The Ned City of London houses Ned's Club - a private members' space, gym and rooftop - alongside a public spa, a full floor of events spaces, ten restaurants and bars and 248 hotel bedrooms. As part of our kitchen teams and reporting to the kitchen leadership team, you will:

• Prep the food and ingredients our chefs need to smoothly cook and serve amazing quality food
• Occasionally work alongside the other chefs on the sections, directly preparing food ready for service to guests
• Maintain a safe and clean kitchen environment, protecting our guests and your teammates from any possible harm
• Our service flows straight from breakfast, to lunch, into dinner so you will need to keep your kitchen clean, tidy, well presented, and ready to hand over to the next team of chefs
• You may also support the next team of chefs by helping to prep for the next service
• Our kitchens all operate different hours, so we can usually accommodate your preferred shift patterns - but as always a degree of flexibility is required in hospitality
• Previous kitchen experience is an advantage, but not essential. This is an entry level role and we will happily look after and train people with a can-do attitude and a willingness to learn

• Ideally this role is a stepping stone into a Chef De Partie role, so a desire to learn and progress is preferred, but not essential
• The Ned boasts 10 restaurants each serving a unique style of cuisine from around the world. As Commis Chef you will support the team of chefs in one of these kitchens serving up amazing food to our members, guests, and customers.
• Do you want to join one of the best places to work in hospitality?
