We are growing and looking for a driven, ambitious chef to join the team and work across multiple sites within the group.

Ensure compliance with EHO and food safety systems (SFBB, HACCP)
Support batch cooking and prep production where required
Uphold consistency of dishes across sites
Assist in training junior chefs
Communicate clearly with both BOH and FOH teams
Maintain GP awareness and minimise waste
What We’re Looking For ~
Minimum 2–3 years’ experience in a quality fresh-food kitchen
Strong understanding of classical cooking techniques
Calm under pressure and service-focused
Flexible and willing to travel between sites
Full UK driving licence preferred
Positive attitude and team mentality
