The Works

As Sous Chef, you’ll be a vital part of the kitchen team — supporting your Head Chef and stepping up when needed. You’ll help deliver dishes to spec every time, lead a team, and contribute to kitchen profitability and performance with consistency and pride.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Leading the kitchen team to deliver high standards during service
  • Supporting rota efficiency and managing kitchen GP
  • Helping maintain stock levels and control
  • Mentoring, developing, and motivating chefs at every level
  • Running daily briefings in the Head Chef’s absence
  • Ensuring full compliance with health & food safety standards
  • Creating an open, honest kitchen culture where people thrive
  • Building strong comms between kitchen and FOH teams

This is a hands-on role for someone with energy, leadership skills, and a love of consistency and creativity in equal measure.

We are looking for great chefs that are:

  • Enthusiastic, experienced, and team-focused
  • Detail-obsessed and committed to quality at every level
  • Confident working in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen
  • Comfortable with ordering, rota planning, and GP control
  • A mentor who supports others and keeps standards high
  • Intermediate Food Hygiene certified
  • A full driving licence is a bonus (but not essential)

Ready to step up?

If you’re ready to lead, learn, and level up your career, apply now and join one of the most forward-thinking hospitality teams in Scotland.

[Employer hidden] is an equal opportunity employer. We believe in an equitable and inclusive work environment and a diverse, empowered team are key to achieving our aim to make people feel great through hospitality.
