Canal – Junior Sous Chef
From the team behind Crispin and Bistro Freddie, Canal is the newest addition to our growing family, a vibrant waterside restaurant and bar celebrating quality ingredients, seasonal cooking, music, and community. Set in a stunning East London location, Canal is already carving out its identity as a warm, buzzing space built on creativity and confident hospitality.

We’re now looking for an experienced Junior Sous Chef to join our opening team and help shape the future of our kitchen. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with passion, drive, and a deep love of food to make their mark on a new venue, one with heart, character, and ambition.

What you’ll bring:

• Previous experience as a Junior Sous or strong Senior Chef de Partie ready for the next step

• A genuine love of seasonal ingredients and thoughtful, flavour-led cooking

• Strong leadership and communication skills, a calm, confident presence in the kitchen

• A collaborative spirit and hands-on attitude, with an eagerness to support and learn

• The desire to contribute to a progressive, people-first kitchen culture

What’s in it for you?

• Free access to gym, spa, and pool on site

• 50% off food and drinks across all HAM. restaurant locations

• 20% off retail wine

• Wagestream – access your earnings as you earn and save

• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay

• Refer a friend bonus (£1,000)

• Increased holiday allowance with length of service

• Milestone markers – we celebrate your big moments

• Flexible shift patterns, including daytime and evening options

• Personal development and training opportunities

This is a unique moment to get involved with a brand-new opening from the ground up. If you’re excited by seasonal cooking, creative freedom, and being part of a warm, ambitious team, we’d love to hear from you.
