An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Chef de Partie / Junior Sous Chef to join the kitchen team at a highly regarded luxury hotel in the Scottish Highlands.
Operating at 2 AA Rosette level, this is a kitchen with a strong food identity, built around exceptional Scottish produce, seasonal cooking and warm, thoughtful hospitality. The hotel has developed a reputation for delivering high standards without pretension, and the kitchen is now looking to strengthen with a chef who wants to keep learning, take on more responsibility, and be part of an ambitious but grounded team.
