Job Description

We are seeking an experienced & skilled sous chef to join our team at Salma, an open, small but very busy modern Mexican inspired seafood, taco, grill and small plate kitchen at White Cloth Hall, Leeds' newest food hall.

The ideal candidate will have a passion or interest in Mexican and Latin cuisine, a presentable appearance, and impeccable kitchen hygiene standards.

They will slot seamlessly into the current kitchen operations and work alongside a well-drilled team to manage food preparation, keep on top of all aspects of EHO documentation, food safety, and cleaning practices, keeping and improving, where possible, the high level to which the kitchen already operates, and ensuring food is prepared to the highest standards with high-quality dishes served in a timely manner.

The ideal candidate should have experience at sous chef or experienced CDP level with the ambition for promotion to a head chef/kitchen management role and be able to work alongside the owner and current head chef to further develop the menus.

Pay is negotiable for the right candidate.

Previous experience with Mexican food would be advantageous, but the right kitchen experience, being a team player, and a willingness to learn is more important.

You will be joining a well-oiled team where duties are shared, but the usual mix of prep, service, cooking, plating, ordering, legal, and cleaning work to keep the kitchen running at its maximum is required.

We need someone who is going to turn up reliably and complete the jobs required of them in an open kitchen.

In return, we can offer manageable hours for a good work/life balance. We have multiple businesses, so clear routes of progression are available for the right candidate.
