The Role Outline: Your Shift at a Glance As our Sous Chef and Kitchen Team Leader, you are the crucial link between the Head Chef's vision and the reality of a busy service. You will take absolute ownership of your section while floating to support the wider brigade, ensuring every plate leaving the pass meets our exact standards for quality, temperature, and presentation.
Why Village? At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating great experiences for our guests and each other. That is why we back our teams to be themselves, take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers. Previous experience is great, but your attitude and energy matter much more to us. If you are friendly, positive, love working with people, and enjoy being part of a busy team, we will give you all the support, training, and opportunities you need. Because it really does take a Village.
How the Village Thrives
We live our culture through four simple commitments:
- We Can & We Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work everyday, with purpose.
- We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best and look out for each other.
- We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.
Your Shift: What You’ll Actually Be Doing As our Kitchen Team Leader, you are the engine of the shift. We trust you to handle:
- The Kitchen Floor: Operating as a hands-on Sous Chef. You will run your own section flawlessly while controlling the wider flow of work, monitoring portion sizes, and jumping in to assist other chefs when the tickets pile up.
- The Standards: Driving an obsession with food safety and brand delivery. You will ensure deliveries are temperature-checked, dishes are cooked to FRESH specifications, and strict HACCP and EHO directives are met without compromise.
- The Brigade: Supervising and coaching junior kitchen team members and KPs. You will translate strategy into action, keeping the team safe around heavy equipment and fostering a culture where everyone is passionate about the menu.
- The Commercial Reality: Protecting the gross profit. You will manage stock to precise par levels, ensure minimal wastage, and keep all relevant paperwork completely up to date for the monthly stock take.
How We Succeed Together
We do not micromanage. It takes a village, so we believe in Ownership & Integrity, giving you the autonomy to handle your area and make decisions on the fly. We Empower & Elevate our people. If you want Room to Grow, we provide funded qualifications and internal moves. We constantly Innovate & Progress so we can Inspire Excellence and smash our targets together.
