Job description:

This well appointed small hotel is looking for a strong Sous Chef to assist with the running of their popular kitchen.

The kitchen is well equipped and there are good staff in currently who need someone to train and support them. The Head Chef will take care of the day to day operations, but you'll be responsible for the running of the kitchen in their absence.

The location isn't remote but also isn't in the city so a driver would be ideal but not essential.

There's an experienced Head Chef in place who is talented and keen to develop the dining at the hotel. You'll be responsible for training junior staff and deputising for the Head Chef. Services can get busy but the management team take pride in keeping numbers sensible and focusing on quality over quantity.

Strong understanding and experience with HACCP and great standards of hygiene are imperative.

The Hotel has become an important part of the town's high street, and is partnered with another local hotel of excellent repute. This position would provide a varied and interesting role to someone looking to hone their management skills within a supportive and encouraging environment.

If you're looking for somewhere that offers good rates of pay and excellent free accommodation on site, please get in touch.
