We have a new fantastic opportunity come up for a Sous Chef to join us at Daish's Hotels!
Offering a competitive salary of up to £31,941 per annum, based on 45 hours per week and varied shifts working up to 6 days per week, plus incremental and performance pay reviews. We also offer continuous all year-round employment – we don’t close for the winter months! You also get £50 once you have completed basic Daish's training, and if you refer a friend, you'll split £100!
Hours include evenings, weekends, and bank holidays, but our kitchen team finishes no later than 8.30pm! Breakfast shifts start from 7am.
Daish's Hotels are flexible employers and strive to facilitate a healthy work-life balance for our employees. We provide a supportive mental wellbeing and financial assistance package. We even give you an extra paid day off for your birthday.
In addition to these fantastic benefits, we have a great “Take your family on a Daish's holiday scheme” for as little as £95 per holiday… 4 nights, breakfast, dinner, room, travel, and entertainment all included.
As our Sous Chef, you'll be responsible for preparing quality meals for up to 150 guests within a 45-minute service window for both breakfast and dinner.
