About the Roles
Sous Chef
As Sous Chef, you'll work alongside the Head Chef to lead the kitchen team, drive exceptional food standards and support the day-to-day operations of the kitchen. You'll mentor and develop chefs, assist with menu creation, manage food costs and labour, and help deliver an outstanding dining experience.

Excellent organisational skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced kitchen
A solid understanding of food safety, quality and kitchen operations
