HEAD CHEF
(Isle of Wight) Permanent position Salary circa £25,000 |
|
Sunshine Recruitment Solutions is delighted to be teaming up with yet another popular Isle of Wight brand to secure talented Chefs for their busy venues across the Island.
This employer has a superb track record for long term staff retention (with over 200 staff currently employed by the group), excellent Trip Advisor reviews, and boasts some of the Isle of Wight’s most popular restaurants, along with some fantastic new venues that are swiftly gaining in momentum and popularity.
One of the keys to success for our client is that they have a holistic team approach to the business. Each venue has a different identity but behind the scenes, the chef brigade is adaptable enough to work in any kitchen across the company when required. As a result, they have built a talented team of friendly, likeable, efficient and proactive Chefs who can work with different leaders and share skills and ideas across the whole group.
Our first priority with the group is to secure a new Head Chef for one of their smaller venues. This role will require a confident and independent Chef who enjoys running a small kitchen with the support of an Executive Group Chef, a Sous and KP. With circa 60 covers over a busy summer shift this is not a high turnover venue, the focus is on quality, service and flavour. The Head Chef will be expected to maintain very high standards, with Health, Safety and EHO focus as a continuous priority.
The venue is open in the day for breakfast / brunch / lunch and then a la carte dining in the evenings, so it is highly likely that split shifts will be required.
With a Mediterranean inspired menu already in place the Head Chef will also be responsible for creating interesting specials each week which could then be implemented throughout the group. Our client uses fresh, locally sourced produce from local duck and chickens eggs to local meat and tomatoes, and they are keen to continuously celebrate Isle of Wight produce in their dishes.
This is a permanent role, based on a 45-hour week, (it is likely that some weeks this will increase, but this is not a coastal venue and it is unlikely that you will face massive fluctuations in volume).
If you have the skills to confidently run a small kitchen, and would also enjoy the challenge of working across a number of venues when required, then we would like to hear from you. Please apply with a current CV and a Cover Letter stating why a Mediterranean style menu would suit your skills.
