Location: Bristol, Clifton Village

Join us and get paid for doing what you love, enjoy loads of perks and benefits, learn new skills, and build a career for life 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 their skills within our kitchens, working in fast-paced environments, under pressure, and with produce they may not have worked with before.

We offer on-the-job training in-house, as well as partnerships with our training provider to offer nationally recognized apprenticeships. If you want to progress 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 worked at this level before and be able to demonstrate your skills in developing the team beneath 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!
