£30,000 - £45,000 + Share of Service Charge

45 Hours | 25 Days Holiday

We're recruiting for an exciting brand-new hospitality opening just outside of Brighton, West Sussex, bringing together a quality restaurant, café and farm shop, with a large terrace and garden that will become a key part of the operation throughout the summer.

We're looking for Chefs from Chef de Partie and Senior Chef de Partie through to Sous Chef level who are passionate about food and want the opportunity to be part of something from day one.

This is a fantastic opportunity for ambitious Chefs who want to join a new kitchen team, work with quality fresh produce and have genuine opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

THE ROLE

We're looking for Chefs who have a genuine passion for cooking and take pride in producing high-quality food.

You may currently be working as a:

• Chef de Partie
• Senior Chef de Partie
• Junior Sous Chef
• Sous Chef

Ideally, you'll have experience working with fresh, seasonal produce within a quality restaurant, gastro pub, hotel or Rosette-standard kitchen. Fine dining or premium hospitality experience would be advantageous, but attitude, passion and the desire to develop are just as important.

We're looking for Chefs who:

• Have a genuine passion for food
• Take pride in their cooking and presentation
• Have experience working in a busy professional kitchen
• Enjoy working with seasonal produce
• Have strong knowledge of kitchen standards, food safety and hygiene
• Are positive, reliable and hardworking
• Enjoy being part of a team and supporting those around them
• Are keen to learn, develop and progress
• Want to be part of a brand-new opening
• See hospitality as a long-term career

WHY JOIN THIS NEW OPENING?

This is an opportunity to join a brand-new kitchen operation from the beginning, rather than stepping into an established team.

You'll have the chance to help shape the kitchen, work alongside an experienced team and play a genuine part in developing the operation as it grows.

With a restaurant, café and farm shop, there will be plenty of variety across the operation, alongside the large outdoor terrace and garden which will become particularly important during the summer.

For the right Chef, there is real scope to develop and progress as the business grows.

Whether you're an experienced Chef de Partie looking for your next step, a Senior CDP ready to move into a Junior Sous role, or an established Sous Chef looking for an exciting new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.

Search is an equal opportunities recruiter and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified applicants, regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age.
