Job description

Join Fuller’s: Where the true you thrives and diversity is embraced. At Fuller’s we don't just offer jobs, we invite you to celebrate your authentic self. Our four core values – doing things the right way, being part of the family, celebrating individuality and always asking what’s next? – define the essence of who we are.

A vast country pub, The Mill at Elstead occupies a great spot on the banks of the River Wey. The location is peaceful but the pub itself can get busy - the Sunday Roasts and riverside garden are particularly popular.

What we can offer you:

• An exciting variety of career paths: Explore a wide range of roles and career paths across our pubs and hotels.
• Supportive environment: We put people first and strive for a collaborative and trusting atmosphere where everyone is valued.
• Continuous growth: Engage in learning and development programs to fuel your personal and professional growth.
• 25% discount on food and drink, across all our pubs and hotels for you and your friends and family. Increasing to 30% after one year, 35% after three years and 40% after five years.
• A fair share of tips, paid on top of your hourly pay and paid on a weekly basis.
• Discounted hotel stays at hotels in the Fuller’s Family
• Access to ‘My Fuller’s’ – our online benefits platform where you can make savings at 100s of retailers and access discounted gym memberships, cinema tickets and much more.
• Healthcare Cash Plan – after one year with us you will have access to a 24-hour GP service and the ability to claim your money back for dentist and eyecare appointments.
• Full induction and training
• The option to receive up to 35% of your earnings as you earn them with Wagestream. This means you won’t always need to wait until payday.

What we look for in a Sous Chef:

• As a deputy to the Head Chef, you will take full control of the kitchen when they are away.
• Someone who will take pride in preparing fresh food made from seasonal, local ingredients.
• A creative Sous Chef who can bring new ideas and create fresh dishes.
• Bring the best out of the kitchen team.
• Take pride in every successful service.
• A hygiene qualification, excellent food knowledge and food safety awareness are all essential for this role.
