We're partnering with a long:established, reputable hotel that is looking to add an experienced Sous Chef to its growing kitchen team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated chef who loves working with fresh, quality ingredients, thrives in a busy service, and takes real pride in delivering consistency.
If you're looking for a role where you can lead, develop your skills, and progress within a supportive and professional kitchen, this could be the step forward you've been waiting for.
