JUNIOR SOUS CHEF
An opportunity for an experienced and approachable leader with a genuine love of cooking and love of beautiful, ingredient‑led food. Granger & Co. is looking for a Junior Sous Chef to join our restaurant family.
ABOUT US
Since we opened our doors in London in 2011, Granger & Co. has brought the relaxed, sunny Australian way of dining to the city. Our restaurants reflect the spirit that Bill Granger made known around the world: easy‑going, generous excellence.
Our food makes people feel good. It is full of flavour, goodness and vitality. We thoughtfully source the best possible ingredients with a sunny, colourful lightness, and the emotional comfort of food is as important to us as how it looks and tastes. We celebrate seasonality, champion local growers and suppliers and prioritise ingredients grown with care for the world.
As a family‑owned restaurant group that is constantly evolving, we value all employees as respected individuals and foster diversity and inclusion, with everyone given a chance to share their voice and ideas. People stay with us and grow with us, many for over a decade.
THE ROLE
This is a full‑time position with a mix of daytime, evening and weekend shifts.
The heart of the role is cooking delicious food and leading a happy, skilled kitchen. You will run the daily operation with pace and attention to detail, inspire the team through seasonal menu changes and teach with generosity, helping to build skills and confidence. Every dish should reflect respect for ingredients and a commitment to quality.
The role offers the chance to learn from colleagues, including our Global Culinary Director, who develops across Australia, Japan, South Korea and the U.K., our Head of Food and Sourcing in London who works closely with farmers, growers and producers as well as our experienced Group Head Chef.
We understand that balance looks different for everyone and the role can be designed with flexibility in mind.
ABOUT YOU
Calm under pressure, precise and organised, you are happiest when working with beautiful produce and leading a kitchen that runs smoothly.
You are a warm and approachable leader who inspires through example and enjoys helping the team learn and grow. You understand flavour balance, work confidently with beautiful produce, and care about seasonality, sustainable sourcing and cooking with whole ingredients.
Our restaurants are busy environments and a sense of confidence in that setting is ideal. Above all though, you care about flavour, learning and generosity.
WHAT WE OFFER
We believe in real work–life balance and a culture of care. You’ll be part of a people‑focused team who share a passion for fresh, everyday food.
Our benefits include:
* A real work-life balance in a people‑first business with teams who love what they do.
* An additional day of holiday for every year of service after two years.
* Access to wellbeing support and private GP services through Hospitality Rewards.
* Freshly made staff meals every shift.
* 50% off when you dine in our restaurants (for up to four people).
* Cycle to work scheme.
* Enhanced maternity pay
* Ongoing learning opportunities and visits to the farms and producers we work with
We believe great food and hospitality bring people together. Our kitchens and restaurants are places where every team member is heard, supported, respected and encouraged to grow. We are proud of our inclusive culture and the positive energy it brings to our restaurants.
If you are excited by the idea of cooking seasonal, ingredient‑led food with a team who cares about flavour and hospitality, we would love to hear from you.
