Lead the kitchen of tomorrow
STK is not your typical steakhouse. We combine a premium steakhouse kitchen with a high-energy dining room, live DJs and polished service, and we want a Senior Sous Chef who is ready for the next step.
This role is built as the path to Head Chef. You'll run the kitchen day to day, work closely with the Head Chef and Regional Chef, and get the structured development, exposure and responsibility you need to lead a kitchen of your own.

Run service from the pass and lead the brigade in the Head Chef's absence
Deliver STK's menu to specification: consistent, precise and on time, every cover
Train, coach and develop chefs, building a strong and motivated team
Manage ordering, stock, waste and GP targets
Own food safety and HACCP standards and keep the kitchen audit-ready at all times
Support rota planning, labour control and kitchen budgets
Contribute to menu launches, specials and new dish development
Work closely with front of house so the guest experience is the same on both sides of the pass

At least 2 years as a Sous Chef or Senior Sous Chef in a high-volume, quality-led kitchen
Strong grill and protein skills; steakhouse experience is a strong advantage
A calm, organised leader who sets the standard and holds the team to it
Working knowledge of GP, stock control and labour management
Level 3 Food Safety (or willingness to complete it)
The ambition to step up to Head Chef, and the drive to earn it
