Assistant Kitchen Manager in Bath

Assistant Kitchen Manager

Boston Tea Party

Ready to step up?

We’re looking for a brilliant Assistant Kitchen Manager to help lead one of our Boston Tea Party kitchens.

This is a role for someone who loves being in the kitchen but is ready for more — more responsibility, more opportunity to lead and more chance to develop the people around them.

You'll work closely with your Kitchen Manager, helping run great services, maintaining brilliant standards and learning everything you need to eventually lead a kitchen of your own.

And because we're a daytime café business, you can build your career in food without giving up your evenings.

What you'll be doing

You'll be a key part of the kitchen leadership team, helping take ownership of your people, your food and your standards.

That means you'll:

• Lead great services and keep the kitchen moving when things get busy.

• Cook alongside your team and make sure every plate leaving the kitchen is something we're proud of.

• Support, coach and develop the chefs around you.

• Step up and take ownership when your Kitchen Manager isn't there.

• Help maintain brilliant food safety, cleanliness and kitchen standards.

• Learn the commercial side of running a kitchen, including stock, ordering, labour and waste.

• Help welcome and train new Good Eggs into the kitchen.

• Work closely with the wider café team to deliver a brilliant experience for our guests.

• Keep learning, asking questions and building the skills to lead your own kitchen one day.

Who we're looking for

You might already be an Assistant Kitchen Manager or Sous Chef, or perhaps you're a strong Chef de Partie who's ready to take your first step into leadership.

You don't need to arrive knowing how to run an entire kitchen.

That's what we'll help you learn.

What matters is that you care about great food, have high standards and want to become a brilliant leader.

You'll be someone who:

Fuels Growth
You want to get better and you're keen to help others improve too. You're curious, ambitious and ready to take on more responsibility.

Leads Responsibly
You do things properly. You understand that food safety and kitchen standards matter, and you're someone your team can rely on when service gets busy.

Makes Connections
You know a great kitchen isn't about one person. You work well with others, communicate brilliantly and help create a kitchen where people enjoy being part of the team.

What's in it for you?

We don't want you to be an Assistant Kitchen Manager forever.

If your ambition is to run your own kitchen, we'll help you build the skills and experience to get there.

You'll learn alongside your Kitchen Manager, getting hands‑on experience of everything from developing people and leading service to understanding stock, labour and the numbers behind a successful kitchen.

You'll get a great package of Boston benefits, plenty of opportunity to develop and something that's still pretty unusual in hospitality:

Daytime hours. No late-night finishes.

And you'll be part of a kitchen culture where development matters. Our best leaders leave the ladder down, helping the people behind them take their next step too.

Good Eggs Only

We've been doing things a little differently since 1995.

We care about great food, great hospitality, our communities and doing business in a way we're proud of.

We don't believe kitchens need big egos or shouty leadership to produce brilliant food.

We want people who bring energy, care about their team, stay calm when the checks start flying and want to keep getting better.

If you're ready to take your next step in the kitchen, we'd love to meet you.

Come and grow with Boston.
