We have a unique opportunity for a Junior Sous Chef to join our La Vista Team
Set in 400 acres of beautiful Scottish countryside, it's considered one of the country's finest 5-star luxury resorts.
Reporting to the Head Chef, and as part of the senior kitchen brigade, as Junior Sous Chef you will be part of a creative and highly driven culinary team working to continually improve guest experience and employee satisfaction, whilst maintaining health and safety and food hygiene standards and working within operating budgets
Some of the key things you will be responsible for as Junior Sous Chef:
Maintaining the safety, cleanliness and presentation of your kitchen and stores through our food safety management system, cleaning schedules and food safety compliance audits
Defining, managing and supervising consistent delivery of exceptional food standards at the correct volumes
First class knowledge of food, trends, dietary requirements, and allergens
Effective stock controls, though strong management of requisitions and orders based on forecast and stock takes, managing key lines and recording wastage
Effective communication through daily shift briefings, handovers, monthly meetings and the use of our systems
Organising rotas and work plans, holiday entitlements and requests
Recruitment, induction, and ongoing training and progression of your team
Providing feedback and managing performance through probationary reviews, 1:1s and appraisals.
Meeting all legal requirements to keep guests and employees safe, and the business compliant with statutory obligations.
While we don't have a 'typical' employee, there are some specific qualities or traits we look for.
People who are naturally friendly - who genuinely care about our guests and the service they receive.
SVQ in Food Productions at SCQF Level 5 or equivalent qualification or equivalent industry experience

Current or recent Senior Chef De Partie or Junior Sous experience within a five-Star hotel or Resort, or quality restaurant with experience of volume

At Cameron House we can offer fully funded, work-based training and development.
