SERVICE CHARGE-We pay our team service charge each month! This service charge all goes into one pot, and 100% of that service charge is then shared amongst all the team at the hotel-every penny received is paid out to the team.
Service charge can be in the region of £160 a month (close to £2000 per year) over and above base pay, for a full time employee.

Come and join our team as a Sous
Chef and let your passion and personality shine

Our culture is important to us, and
we encourage everyone in our teams to show thoughtfulness towards each
other and our guests.

As a Sous Chef, you will be
working alongside the Head Chef to run a busy kitchen. You will be creating
exciting and delicious dishes to be served to guests.

This role would suit someone who
has worked in a similar environment previously.

Check out some of the key points
about the role:

• As a skilled chef, you’ll get to really put
  those knife skills to the test, cooking with the finest of ingredients.
• We want to keep everyone safe, so you’ll
  need to keep up to date with the latest allergen training.
• Being one team, everyone in the kitchen is
  responsible for keeping it clean.
• Nobody wants out of date food, so labelling
  your food is important.
• As an experienced chef, we encourage you to
  share your knowledge with new, budding Junior Sous, CDP’s, KP’s and Commis
  coming into the industry.
• You’ll be responsible for managing the
  kitchen in the absence of the Head Chef.
• Along with the Head Chef, you’ll write the
  allergen matrix, to ensure that all our guests are kept safe.
• We can’t run out of food, so it’s important
  to keep on top of ordering, via Procure Wizard.

Work/life, or as it should be called
life/work balance is important to us all, so we will always try to be fair with
our rotas. We just ask that you can be
flexible with us, so we can be flexible with you in return.

To say thank you, we have
many perks:

• Competitive pay – We are proud that
  everyone who joins our group gets a competitive a rate of pay,
  irrespective of age, plus you get service charge and tips on top.
• Treat yourself once in a while with lots
  of retail and hospitality perks through our Perkbox platform.
• Excellent discounts across our family of
  hotels – you will be entitled to 25% off food & beverage in our hotels
  plus we offer an amazing staff rate of £25 B&B per person across the
  group & your friends and family get special rates too.
• We understand it’s OK not to be OK, so we
  offer an externally run confidential helpline for any support you require
  about anything you might need as part of our Employee Assistance
  Programme.
• We sustain you physically too, meals when
  you are on duty are free.
• To be the best version of yourself, we
  encourage our teams to be curious. Everyone can learn and develop -
  our development pathways are unique to us and are the best in the
  business.
• We provide lots of opportunity to
  progress and move up – we have made hundreds of internal promotions,
  including to General Manager level.
• We like to say a special thank you for
  every year you are with us - our milestone awards include Champagne,
  afternoon tea, or dinner for you and someone special. When you reach the
  big milestones, you receive extra special gifts on top like longer hotel stays,
  extra days off and a unique gift especially chosen for you.
