Our executive Chefs play a pivotal role in the success of our business. Working closely alongside an Operations Manager, you will manage up to 10 sites maintaining a close relationship and support to your teams, enabling them to deliver their magic.
Our people are the key to our success, therefore your team will be your absolute number 1 priority, spotting amazing Chef talent; having aces in the right places, celebrating success; creating a real buzz and a sense of belonging for our team, plus developing great Head Chefs and leaders through training, coaching and mentoring.
We’re all about fresh seasonal produce, daily specials, creativity and passion whilst running a profitable kitchen.
Ideally, you will already have multi-site hospitality experience as an Operations Chef / Area Chef from another business. You believe in yourself and your leadership, in your team, in bringing people together and our vision. You believe that delivering a great experience, making sure our customers leave happy and our teams loving what they do.
You’re honest and approachable, you're a master of "buy in" and sometimes that means having those tough decisions to get the best from your team.
You genuinely care and are interested in the people that work for you. You know how to keep your team motivated and engaged and how to get the best out of them, flexing your leadership style. For those wanting to progress, you can help and support them grow and reach their aspirations.
You’re all over the stocks, rotas, labour, H&S, lightbulbs, the nooks and crannies of the sites – delivering uncompromising standards both front and back of house, and knowing what part everyone plays.
You obsess about learning from yesterday and getting better, in each site, every single day from every opportunity and helping your team to do the same.
You lead your team and your businesses through your own unique style and personality, making it your own. You don’t look for robots but recruit and develop people that bring their true selves to work as we champion a culture of collaboration and creativity.

- Training and development
