Job Description
A high flying Sous Chef wanted for very well known, established, high end property working to 1 Rosette in South Wales location. I visited the clients site last week - the property is stunning, the views second to none & the lifestyle perfect for someone looking to escape the rat race. This is going to be a brilliant role for someone.
The salary is negotiable around £40k+ very high quality single person accommodation - which is fully expensed, so no bills. We estimate that the accommodation element on its own is worth at least £1200 per month.
This role is NOT the norm. The plan is to attract a level of talent to this role that aligns perfectly with the Directors ethos, someone that can support the current service offering & can be central to the strategy for the business for the long term. You will be working in lockstep with a very strong, established Head Chef.
Our client is looking for a professional, diligent & skilled Restaurant Sous Chef with experience of leading similar high quality teams ideally at premium or fine dining end of the market. The Directors are keen to hire a successful & proven entrepreneurial Sous Chef who also has a proven track record over the long term.
This will be a hands-on Sous Chef role - leading a team from the front & would suit someone who wants to break free from their current company constraints & shoot the lights out with their next move. You will have autonomy and the space to spread your wings. The F & B numbers here are good but there is more to do & so this role would suit someone who thrives in volume environments where there are lots of moving parts.
The client is looking to lock someone in for the long term with this appointment.
The client is open to candidates from high quality Restaurant / Gastro Pub / Hotel / Hotel Resort restaurant backgrounds but you must have been working at Sous Chef level for a minimum of 2 years.
This is a Sous Chef role that isn't going to be for everyone. It's aimed at an Sous Chef who is growing tired of the thankless corporate contingency and all of the daily tick box exercises and the paperwork that goes with it - or a Sous Chef at that 'sweet spot' in their career who think their only two options are to either get a move managing a larger team & push for a Head Chef role within 6 - 12 months or set up on their own. It's for an Sous Chef who knows that there is a lot more to running a high quality kitchen than just running shifts. It's for Sous Chef who wants the term "my guests" to actually mean something. Perhaps most importantly it's for an Sous Chef in companies who don't want to lose the fire in their belly simply because their current company has got nothing better to offer them.
If this sounds like you - send your CV over & we'll have a look at it for you..
