Our Senior Sous Chef is tasked with running efficient operations, commercial performance and above all, strong team leadership.

You’ll complete varied activities ranging from cleaning down the kitchen, to creating efficiencies with your team.

We are a “walk-in” only business, we don’t need bookings to fill our restaurants!

We’re no office folk here, we expect our managers of all levels to roll up their sleeves and lead from the front. You’ll be getting fully involved in the day-to-day pastry operations of your kitchen from doing prep, to making daily branch orders.

A full Job Description will be made available to you during the hiring process.

Essential Experience:

• You’ll have worked in a leadership role in a kitchen
• At least 2-years working as a pastry sous chef

It would be even better (but not essential) if:

• You have at least 2-years experience at senior Sous Chef level in a busy production kitchen.

Can you handle the pressure of a fast turnaround, table service brunch, lunch and dining establishment?

Does this look like your next opportunity?
