Job description

Sous Chef — Tanera Mor

One of our clients is seeking a passionate and driven Sous Chef to join their team at an exciting stage of growth.

Based on a remote and stunning 800-acre island in the Northwest Highlands, the large-scale, forward-thinking restoration and hospitality project combines exceptional guest experiences with deep philanthropic and community values. The operation is set within an area of outstanding natural beauty, where authentic hospitality is at the heart of everything they do.

As Sous Chef, you will work alongside the Head Chef to help plan and deliver all aspects of kitchen operations, while supporting and communicating the vision of Tanera to both the team and our guests. You will share responsibility for running the kitchen in the Head Chef’s absence, working closely with a second Sous Chef.

The food and beverage offering is truly unique. Alongside traditional kitchen settings, much of our cooking takes place outdoors—over open fire and in distinctive locations. With around 15 different cooking spots across the island, you’ll support the kitchen team in delivering daily crew lunches for 100–120 people and catering for up to 30 guests.

What we’re looking for:
The ideal candidate will have a blend of the following:

• Minimum 2 years’ experience in a professional kitchen at Sous Chef level or above (however, all applications will be considered)
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• A collaborative approach to working with our teams, including those managing seasonal island produce

Key Responsibilities:

• Support and direct food preparation and delegate tasks
• Cook and prepare meals for both crew and guests
• Assist the Head Chef in menu creation, recipe development, and dish innovation
• Supervise and motivate chefs of all levels, ensuring high standards and smooth operations
• Uphold and ensure adherence to all food hygiene and health & safety regulations
• Maintain the Tanera ethos and standards across all kitchen activities
• Manage stock control, ordering, and kitchen inventory
• Engage with guests when required, delivering exceptional hospitality
• Support team development and training
• Stay overnight on the island when required

What they offer:

• Competitive salary, based on experience
• 33 days annual leave (including public holidays)
• Company pension scheme
• Discretionary bonus
• Staff accommodation available

Diversity & Inclusion
Our client is committed to building an inclusive workplace with a diverse and representative team. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds, cultures, and experiences.
