RELOCATION OPPORTUNITY - Executive Chef - Lake District - Beautiful Country Estate - Up To £75k + Bonus
A high flying Hotel Executive Chef wanted for very well known, established, high end property with multiple outlets working to Michelin Bib Gourmand standard that sits on a sprawling Lake District Country Estate. Salary is negotiable up to £75k + Bonus. High quality accommodation can be provided for those looking to relocate for an interim 3/4 month period to assist in a smooth relocation.
This role is NOT the norm. Our client is fully committed to finding a highly skilled, professional Executive Chef. The plan is to attract a level of talent to this role that aligns perfectly with the Directors ethos, someone that can elevate the current food offering & can be central to the strategy for the business for the long term. You will be working in lockstep with a group of highly successful Director entrepreneurs who are well financed & bring a sense of calm, consistent decision making & a proven commercial acumen.
Our client is looking for a professional, diligent & skilled Executive Chef with experience of leading similar high quality Hotel kitchens ideally at 4*/5* end of the market. The Directors are keen to hire a successful & proven entrepreneurial Executive Chef who also has a proven track record over the long term.
This will be a hands-on Executive Chef role - leading a team from the front & would suit someone who wants to break free from their current company constraints & shoot the lights out with their next move. You will have autonomy over menu strategy & suppliers and will be given the space to spread your wings. The F & B numbers here are significant & would suit someone who thrives in complex high volume environments where there are lots of moving parts.
The client is looking to lock someone in for the long term with this appointment & are offering up to £75k base salary Plus Bonus.
The client is open to candidates from high end Hotel / hotel resort backgrounds but you must have been working at a Executive Chef level for a minimum of 3 years.
This is an Executive Chef role that isn't going to be for everyone. It's aimed at an Executive Chef who is growing tired of the thankless corporate contingency and all of the daily tick box exercises and the paperwork that goes with it - or an Executive Chef at that 'sweet spot' in their career who think their only two options are to either get a move managing a larger team & push for a group role within 6 - 12 months or set up on their own. It's for an Executive Chef who knows that there is a lot more to running a large scale kitchen operation than just running shifts. It's for Executive Chef who wants the term "my guests" to actually mean something. Perhaps most importantly it's for an Executive Chef in companies who don't want to lose the fire in their belly simply because their current company has got nothing better to offer them.
If this sounds like you - send your CV over & we'll have a look at it for you..
