Get paid for doing what you love, enjoy numerous perks and benefits, learn new skills, and build a lifelong career with Hotel du Vin

At Hotel du Vin, fifty percent of all revenue comes from catering sales. In many of our hotels, we can be busier in our bistros than most local restaurants! This provides our chef brigades with a great opportunity to develop within our kitchens, learning new skills, working in fast-paced environments under pressure, and sometimes with produce they haven't worked with before.

We offer on-the-job training in-house as well as collaboration with our training provider to offer nationally recognized apprenticeships. If you want to advance your career, a HDV kitchen is the place to do it. Four of our Head Chefs have been promoted from within, with two starting their journey as kitchen porters.

As a Senior Sous Chef, you will support the Head Chef by ensuring the team delivers brand standards smoothly and consistently. Ideally, you will have experience at this level and be able to demonstrate your skills in developing the team below you.

Do you want to be part of something different, working with the best food, drink, and a brand you can be proud of?

We create memories that our guests never forget. This could be your next step into a Head Chef role – we actively encourage internal development and progression. Onwards and upwards!

In addition to competitive pay, we offer:

• Heavily discounted Staff Room Rates at Malmaison, Hotel du Vin, and Frasers Hospitality, with rooms starting from £65 per night.
• Discounted Friends and Family Room Rate with 50% off the best available rate.
• 35% off your bill when dining in our Brasseries and Bistros.
• Fully funded Apprenticeship programs supporting your career development.
• High street discounts on various shops, experiences, holidays, and more.
• Cycle to work scheme – save up to 40% on a wide range of bikes.
• Healthcare Cash Plans – dental, optical, medical, and more, from £5 per month.
• Referral schemes paying up to £1500 for referring friends to work with us.
• A decent uniform that looks professional.
• Wellness & National Campaign Days promoting activities like Pay Day Lunches, Mental Health Awareness Week, and more.
• Partnership with Wagestream, allowing instant access to earned wages, real-time wage tracking, and money management tips.
• Complimentary stays on your 1st, 3rd, and 5th anniversaries, including Dinner, Bed & Breakfast.
• Support for The Brain Charity, aiding those with neurological conditions.
• Employee Assistance Programme – free, confidential advice 24/7 for you and your family.

Our Sustainability Goals include:

• Using 100% renewable energy, primarily from UK wind farms.
• Recycling at least 70% of hotel waste, driven by staff focus and sustainability initiatives.
• Transitioning to chemical-free cleaning systems and eco-friendly kitchen solutions.
