Job description

Senior Sous Chef, Malmaison

Rate of Pay / Hours

Type of Contract

Location

Get paid for doing what you love, enjoy loads of perks and benefits, learn new skills, and build a career for life with Malmaison.

At Malmaison, fifty percent of all revenue comes from catering sales. In many of our hotels, we can be busier in our brasseries than most local restaurants! This provides our chef brigades with great opportunities to develop their skills within our kitchens—learning new techniques, working in fast-paced environments under pressure, and sometimes handling produce they've not worked with before.

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

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 role could be your next step into a Head Chef position—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 available 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 shops, experiences, holidays, and more.
• Cycle to work scheme—save up to 40% on bikes.
• Healthcare Cash Plans—dental, optical, medical, and more from £5 per month.
• Referral schemes paying up to £1500 for successful hires.
• A professional uniform that looks sharp and modern.
• Wellness & National Campaign Days promoting activities like Pay Day Lunches, Mental Health Awareness, and more.
• Partnership with Wagestream for instant access to earned wages and financial tips.
• Complimentary stays on your 1st, 3rd, and 5th anniversaries, including dinner, bed, and breakfast.
• Support for The Brain Charity, aiding those with neurological conditions.
• Employee Assistance Programme offering free, confidential advice 24/7 for you and your family.

Our Sustainability Goals:

• 100% renewable energy for our electricity, mainly from UK wind farms.
• Recycling at least 70% of hotel waste, championed by our Sustainability Council.
• Transition to chemical-free cleaning systems in bedrooms and public areas, and eco-friendly kitchen systems.
• Encouraging volunteering for sustainable charities, two days per year, paid.
