The Rutland Hotel is eagerly seeking a dynamic, ambitious, and quality-focused Chef de Partie to join our dedicated and spirited pastry team. Immerse yourself in a culinary environment serving three unique venues, each showcasing the finest sustainably sourced ingredients from Scotland's elite suppliers: Kyloe, an acclaimed 1 AA Rosette gourmet steakhouse; The Huxley, serving American soul food with Scottish flair, from breakfast through dinner; and Understory, our new 5* Dive Bar.
In this hands-on role, we're looking for someone who thrives amidst high-volume, fast-paced settings. You'll take ownership of your section, ideally bringing experience as a CDP or strong Demi Chef de Partie in busy, quality-led kitchens. Experience in a Rosette-grade establishment is highly desireable. You'll run your station with confidence and consistency, supporting junior chefs around you — so solid organisation, time management, and communication skills are essential.
Key Responsibilities:
- Run your section to an exceptional standard, ensuring consistency, quality, and pace during every service.
- Support the Head of Pastry in delivering seamless kitchen operations across all three venues.
- Contribute ideas to seasonal menu development, aligning with brand standards and guest expectations.
- Follow and help uphold allergen procedures, food safety and COSHH practices throughout the kitchen.
- Assist with stock rotation, proper labelling, and record keeping, adhering to Food Standards Procedures.
- Guide and mentor commis chefs and junior team members on your section.
- Minimise waste and work efficiently with ingredients, supporting the kitchen's cost control efforts.
- Play your part in helping the team achieve the prestigious 2 AA Rosette certification.
What We Seek:
- A confident, capable chef with a background in fine dining or high-end hospitality.
- Consistency under pressure and pride in every plate that leaves your section.
- Hands-on operational ability is crucial — you lead your station by example.
- A fervour for exceptional food and a genuine passion for the hospitality industry, with prior Rosette-grade experience being advantageous.
- The ambition to grow, learn, and progress — we develop our chefs and promote from within.
- A team player who lifts the standard of everyone around them.
What We Offer:
- Join an ambitious, hard-working team with a clear path to Junior Sous and beyond.
- Be part of a vibrant, determined, results-driven kitchen team.
- Flexible work patterns which respect your work/life balance.
- Competitive rate of pay and TRONC package.
- Fully funded development and training programmes to build your career.
- Access to up to 50% of your earnings before payday.
- Extensive promotional and discount opportunities across all Signature venues.
