•	Wants to push themselves and improve every day
•	Takes pride in their work and turns up with the right mindset
•	Is reliable, switched on and works well under pressure

If you’re keen to learn from strong chefs, accept feedback and develop properly, this kitchen will give you that opportunity.
What You’ll Be Doing
•	Supporting senior chefs during prep and service
•	Maintaining high standards of cleanliness, organisation and food safety
•	Learning techniques, consistency and attention to detail
•	Contributing positively to a professional, high-performance kitchen

What’s On Offer
•	A position in a kitchen with a serious food reputation and award aspirations
•	Real progression and professional development for the right person
•	A team that values work ethic, commitment and improvement
•	An opportunity to grow with a venue that has big plans for the future

This is not a role for someone looking to coast — it’s for a Junior Commis Chef who wants to work hard, learn properly and take the next step in their career.

Due to the location of this venue being able to drive or organise reliable transport is essential.
