Join Malmaison and get paid for doing what you love, with loads of perks and benefits, learning opportunities, and a career for life.

At Malmaison, forty 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 a great opportunity to develop their skills within our kitchens—learning new techniques, working in fast-paced environments under pressure, and sometimes handling produce they haven't worked with before.

We offer on-the-job training in-house as well as collaboration with our training provider to offer nationally recognized apprenticeships. If you want to progress your career, a Mal kitchen is the place to do it. Over 50% of our Head Chefs have been promoted from within, with some starting their journey as kitchen porters.

As a 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 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 role could be your next step into a Head Chef position—we actively encourage internal development and progression. Onwards and upwards!
