- Junior Sous Chef role in a calm, well-run daytime kitchen
- Day shifts only with every night off
- Support the Head Chef, lead service and contribute to specials

About the Venue The kitchen is definitely one of the highlights of the venue. It’s one of those rare kitchens that simply works — organised, calm and filled with good people who genuinely care about what they do. The team looks out for each other, service runs smoothly, and there’s a real sense of satisfaction in being part of a kitchen that’s run properly.

You’ll be joining a well-established daytime venue with a great reputation and a strong following. The food is honest, creative and made with care. The kitchen’s been designed to flow — structured, well-equipped and led by people who understand the rhythm of a busy day service.

Here, it’s all about balance. You’ll work days only — no nights, no doubles. That means you can still do what you love in the kitchen, and have your evenings to spend with family, friends, or just some time for yourself.

The Role

We’re looking for a Junior Sous Chef who’s calm, capable, and enjoys being part of a solid team. Someone who takes pride in their section, enjoys a busy breakfast and lunch service, and values structure and consistency.

You’ll spend most of your time on the pans, taking a key role in service, supporting the Head Chef and helping guide the junior team. There’s also room to contribute creatively through daily specials and menu ideas, all within a reliable, well-run kitchen where the systems, standards and team are already in place.





What You’ll Be Doing

- Running your section with focus, care and pride
- Supporting the Head Chef and stepping up when needed
- Helping train and mentor junior team members
- Keeping things consistent and organised during service
- Contributing to specials and new menu ideas
- Maintaining high standards of food quality and cleanliness

What We’re Looking For

- Proven experience as a Senior CDP or Junior Sous in a quality dining setting
- Strong cooking skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure
- A great communicator who works well with others
- A team player who values structure, respect and pride in their work
- Someone looking for stability and a great team culture

Why You’ll Love It

- All day shifts — every night off
- A supportive, experienced team that looks out for each other
- Structured systems that make work smoother
- Room for creativity and input into specials
- A strong, successful business with genuine people at the helm

This is the kind of kitchen where you can build your skills, become a stronger chef and genuinely enjoy coming to work. If you value good food, a supportive team and having your evenings back, this is a role well worth considering.
