Do you thrive in the heat of the kitchen?

Get paid for doing what you love, enjoy loads of rewards and benefits, and keep learning new skills while you earn. We're looking for a talented, experienced Chef de Partie with a proven track record of delivering brand standards in a busy kitchen environment.

The Role

You'll work in a clean, efficient and organised way, leading your section with confidence and staying calm under pressure. Working closely with our kitchen team, you'll help deliver dining experiences that leave guests yearning for more.

Sustainability at Our Core

Sustainability is central to who we are. Every team member is certified as "Carbon Literate," and we'll ask you to take part in Carbon Awareness training too. We expect everyone on the team to understand the impact of their actions on the environment, contribute to reducing emissions, and bring their own ideas to the table. You'll play a part in bringing our sustainability journey to life — for yourself and for our guests.

Working Hours

We're open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, so we need team members who can work flexibly across a range of shifts and days. We're generally busiest in the evenings and at weekends, but shift patterns and contracted hours can all be discussed at interview.

Supporting Your Hospitality Career Growth

  • Nationally recognised apprenticeships, alongside our detailed brand training — you can view our most popular courses on our careers pages

  • Internal development programmes, designed to support you as you grow within your role

  • Monthly and annual team member service awards, making sure your achievements are recognised and celebrated
