Grill Chef in Cambridge

We’re looking for a Grill Chef like you, a craftsperson at home in the flames, passionate about grilling and presenting the very best kushiyaki sticks. You’ll have busy restaurant and grilling experience, but a calm spirit that tunes in and focuses, rising above the energy of the hot kitchen. Then you’re more than ready for a role at our grill, the place where you can bring your creativity and flair to the Sticks ‘n’ Sushi team.

Are you someone who works with hands, head and heart in harmony? A precision-focused individual, even under fast-paced pressure? Positive and fun to be around, in the heat (or cool) of the busy kitchen? Able to adapt and move with change, without letting standards drop? The type who stands shoulder to shoulder with their fellow Strange Fish, with a big smile and a small ego? Culturally curious and hungry to learn more about our Danish ’n’ Japanese roots?

What you’ll be doing at Sticks ’n’ Sushi:

• You’ll be creating top-class grilled kushiyaki, from meats and fish to vegetarian and unexpected combinations.
• You’ll put your passion and pride into presenting delicious sticks and experiences for every guest, every time.
• Your food will be memorable and make people happy, turning guests into regulars and regulars into friends.
• You will be part of a family that will help you flourish and become the best you can be.

What you’ll bring to us:

• You already have experience in a busy kitchen and have excellent knife and kushiyaki-making skills.
• You’re fluent in English, the language of our kitchen.
• You love deepening your craft.
• You respect the rituals and traditions of kushiyaki, but are also curious to bring your own spark and ideas to it.
• You bring team spirit, kindness, respect.
• You think “we” rather than “I”.
• You have a desire to have fun as you work with your fellow Strange Fishes.

How we will support your journey with us:

We want you to grow with us, so through our Lead ‘n’ Learn academy, you can keep learning and developing your skills and challenge your responsibilities. Our training is structured to both help you shine and create memories, in your role and beyond.
