Are you a passionate Sous Chef seeking your next opportunity, and currently looking for a role with personal development, where you feel valued, heard and involved? This fantastic opportunity could be yours.
We are seeking to appoint a passionate and highly motivated Sous Chef to support our valued Client, an independent Pub with rooms, currently operating at one Rosette.
Based in the Stroud area, working alongside a small team of experienced, passionate Chefs, the key focus of the Sous Chef role will be supporting the Head Chef, a Chef with a very strong background in running two Rosette kitchens. His vision is to go for two Rosettes, as soon as he has the right Team in place, in his brigade, producing comforting, well:cooked British/ French dishes, using fresh, local, seasonal ingredients.
As Sous Chef you will lead shifts and take full control/responsibility for the kitchen where the Head Chef is not present, while also training, leading and mentoring the more junior members of this friendly, inclusive Team.
You will have the opportunity to work with good produce and most importantly in a friendly environment with excellent facilities and a fabulous, supportive owner, while contributing to menu development and presentation.
As Sous Chef, you will be an all:rounder, someone who can take control of the grill, while also stepping into any of the other kitchen sections with ease and confidence.
