Chef de Partie - Casual

We’re looking for a Chef de Partie to keep the kitchen rolling, food flawless and make every plate unforgettable (only in a good way!) at The Hoxton, Edinburgh. Reporting to the Executive Chef, you’ll be responsible for providing a highly efficient and effective service, ensuring standards are maintained and guest needs are anticipated. This is a casual, flexible role where you choose the shifts that work for your life, and there may be opportunities to pick up hours elsewhere in the hotel too.

Patatino is our all-day Italian trattoria serving fresh pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and all the spritzes and Italian wines you could wish for. Inspired by the glam and romance of the sun-soaked Amalfi coast, it’s a spot for long, joyful meals with friends, where old-school charm meets modern design, with bold colours, cosy corners, and plenty of personality.

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. We want to be more than just a place to stay: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

What’s in it for you:

• The flexibility to choose when you want to work, perfect for students, side-projects, or anyone wanting control over their schedule or juggling other commitments.
• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
• Competitive salary plus holiday pay.
• Food on us during your shift.
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.

What you will do:

• Bring delicious flavours to our guests’ tables by running a section in our busy kitchen.
• Nurture and develop the talent of the kitchen team, creating an environment that brings out the best in them and where they can be themselves.
• Make sure things are running without a hitch, orders and deliveries are coming and going as needed, our service is smooth as chipotle butter and our food hygiene standards are sky-high.
• Work with our Executive Chef on ideas and techniques that make our kitchen a creative, ever-changing environment where we’re always looking to make the best food out there.
• Ensure statutory compliance in all food and drink related areas.
• Pay attention to the details to ensure every dish served is as delicious as the one before!

What we’re looking for:

• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in chef whites here.
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
• Previous experience working as part of a fast-moving kitchen team with freshness and provenance of ingredients as a key priority.
• Passion for food and fresh ingredients is a given.
• A true passion for creativity whilst maintaining the integrity of our brand standards through the dishes on the menu.
• A natural at leading and managing others, you lead by example and create an environment where your team can be their best self.
