Senior Sous Chef Wanted for a Unique Staff Dining Venue

Are you a strong Sous Chef ready to step up and take ownership of a high-profile staff dining operation in an iconic venue? We’re looking for a talented and driven Senior Sous Chef to lead the culinary direction of our retail food offer – including a carvery-style station, two hot mains, soups, salads, a deli counter, and a café-style grab & go offer.

This is not your average kitchen role. We’re undergoing an exciting period of change, and we want a Sous Chef who’s ready to make their mark, shake things up, and bring fresh ideas to the table.

What’s in it for you:

A Monday to Friday schedule with occasional weekends when needed – perfect for work-life balance.

The opportunity to oversee and shape a large and varied catering offer within a staff restaurant setting.

A chance to lead a team, drive standards, and elevate the overall food experience.

Work with a fantastic contract catering company that values creativity, quality, and career development.

Ideal Candidate:

A confident and experienced Senior Sous Chef, ideally with a contract catering background.

Proven ability to manage a high-volume, multi-outlet kitchen.

Comfortable leading a team and maintaining high standards across carvery, hot mains, soups, salads, deli, and café service.

Passionate about fresh, seasonal food with strong presentation and organisational skills.

Looking for something different – a new challenge that breaks away from the norm.

If you’re ready to take on a role where you can truly influence, innovate, and be part of something exciting – this could be the opportunity for you.
