About the Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented Sous Chef to join a well-established and highly regarded fresh-food restaurant in Scunthorpe.
This vacancy has become available due to an internal promotion, demonstrating the business's commitment to developing and investing in its team. If you're looking for an employer where hard work is recognised and career progression is genuinely achievable, this could be the perfect next step.
Working alongside an experienced Head Chef, you'll play a key role in the day-to-day running of the kitchen, helping deliver exceptional food while maintaining the highest standards of quality, consistency and service.
This role would suit an experienced Sous Chef looking for a new challenge or an ambitious Chef de Partie ready to take the next step in their career.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the Head Chef with the day-to-day running of the kitchen
- Lead the kitchen team during preparation and service
- Ensure consistently high standards of food quality and presentation
- Prepare and cook fresh dishes using quality seasonal ingredients
- Assist with menu development and daily specials
- Supervise, train and mentor junior chefs
- Maintain stock control and assist with ordering
- Ensure all food safety, HACCP and hygiene procedures are followed
- Work closely with the front-of-house team to deliver an outstanding guest experience
- Help maintain a clean, organised and efficient kitchen
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience as a Sous Chef or a strong Chef de Partie ready to step up
- Experience working within a busy fresh-food restaurant, gastro pub or quality hospitality venue
- Strong leadership and communication skills
- Passion for cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
- Calm and professional approach during busy services
- Thorough understanding of food safety and kitchen compliance
- Positive attitude with a genuine passion for developing others
You'll be joining an experienced and supportive kitchen team consisting of:
- Head Chef
- Sous Chef
- Breakfast Chef
This well-structured brigade works collaboratively to produce high-quality food in a positive and professional environment where teamwork is genuinely valued.
Why Apply?
This is an excellent opportunity to join an independent business that takes pride in developing its people. With the previous Sous Chef having earned a promotion internally, you'll be joining a kitchen where progression isn't just promised, it's proven.
If you're passionate about fresh food, enjoy leading a team and are looking to further your career within a supportive and ambitious business, we'd love to hear from you.
