Job description:

I am looking for a Permanent Head Chef for a 30 bedroom hotel 3 star family run hotel 90 miles North of Inverness.

Creative and focused Chef required. We are looking for an exceptional chef to join this team. The person they are looking for will be a self-motivated team player with skills to match and a high achiever.

You will be in charge of the day to day running of the kitchen which includes - ordering, rotas, stock control, menu planning, training, health safety and hygiene.

A well-established 3 Star Hotel in the Far North of Scotland.

You'll work busy shifts like everyone else, most likely whatever it takes to get the job done. They don't work you into the ground though!

You'll want to use locally sourced ingredients and develop dishes that have the most delicious flavours and relish producing new dishes.

Good quality of life and friendly place to work: there is a Swimming pool and gym close by, also you can enjoy golfing and fishing.

There's a train station close by, however to get the most out of the location access to your own form of transport is recommended.
