Job description:

The magical Isle of Jura has just one shop, one distillery, one pub, 200 people and 6000 deer, so spending a summer here isn't for everyone...but if you think you'd like it, you'll probably love it.

This job is ideal for an outdoorsy type looking to do something different for the season. Joining the strong & dynamic Jura Hotel team makes you part of the friendly, welcoming island community too.

Our Sous Chef will work two meal services each day - sometimes split, sometimes straight - working with the Head Chef on some nights and heading-up the kitchen team him/herself on others. We don't do stress, we don't do shouting in the kitchen: we turn out a huge amount of food during busy times but this remains a lovely place to work - partly because we recruit like-minded people who enjoy working hard together, and partly because it's hard to be grumpy in one of the most beautiful spots in the country.

We're looking for someone with strong experience in a commercial kitchen as a sous-chef, head chef or cook. We make most things from scratch and will expect you to create your own specials on the chef's days off. To fit in here you will have next-to-no ego, enjoy a laid-back lifestyle but have a strong sense of urgency and be able to work quickly and efficiently without getting hot-headed.

This position is available now for the right candidate and is available through until mid October with the potential for longer.
