Job description

The Auckland Project



At the heart of our sites is Auckland Palace, the home of the Prince Bishops of Durham and the historic seat of faith and power in the North of England. The experience across our sites is deeply linked to those two themes and are repeated throughout the Palace and its gardens, the Faith Museum and the Mining Art and Spanish Galleries. The collection of our venues, spaces and places invites conversations about belonging, faith, loss, sacrifice, community, love and creativity. We would like our visitors to explore and to discover things about our town, our country and their own lives. We want to create encounters – and need your help to do so.





The role purpose:



We’re looking for an organised and collaborative Sous chef to join our team at El Castillo, our Tapa’s restaurant in the Market Place, Bishop Auckland. Your passion for great Spanish food and wonderful dining experiences will be felt by your kitchen team and customers alike. You’ll deliver excellent food safety as well as quality and creativity - and you’ll build sustainability by continuously developing the capability of your kitchen colleagues in these areas too. Your role will be made all the more stimulating by drawing inspiration from the stories, themes and characteristics that run through the buildings, landscapes and collections we celebrate.



This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a growing team to thrive whatever the shift throws at them. As a key member of the venue, you’ll collaborate with food and beverage colleagues and Events manager in the delivery of exceptional hospitality; making you a part of an organisation dedicated to the regeneration, conservation and celebration of Bishop Auckland. This will be achieved by maintaining a safe, happy creative workplace founded in professionalism and strong team ethic.



We recognise that a good Sous chef is a key ingredient to our success and for that we offer 30 days annual leave per annum. You will be working 37.5 hours per week on a variable shift pattern to be agreed with your colleagues.
