Description

A new New York Italian bar is opening this autumn - and we’re building the kitchen team from the start.

Think Negronis, martinis and spritzes alongside a small plates menu made for sharing: daily housemade focaccia, crudo, fritti and red-sauce meatballs. Everything is made from scratch, with great produce and real attention to detail. It’s a chance to help shape a new opening and make the food people come back for.

Role Overview

As a Junior Sous Chef, you'll play a key role in our kitchen, running your section through service and preparing the housemade produce that sits at the heart of our small plates menu - from daily focaccia to crudo, fritti, and our signature meatballs. You'll work closely with the Head Chef within a small, agile team. This is a 50 hour full-time role, reporting to the Head Chef.

Key Responsibilities
  • Run your section confidently and consistently through service.

  • Prepare housemade produce to a consistently high standard 

  • Carry out day-to-day mise en place and ingredient prep to support smooth service.

  • Maintain excellent standards of food safety, hygiene, and organisation in the kitchen.

  • Work closely with the Head Chef to ensure consistency and quality across all dishes.

  • Support stock rotation, storage, and minimising waste.

  • Contribute to a positive, hardworking kitchen culture and continuous improvement.

  • Step in across sections as needed within a small, agile team.

  • Support with prep for Spring Street Pizza

What You'll Bring
  • Solid cooking experience, at least Chef de Partie level, ideally within small plates or a fast-paced kitchen.

  • Strong knife skills and attention to detail in food preparation.

  • A genuine passion for fresh, high-quality, housemade ingredients.

  • Ability to work efficiently and stay organised under pressure.

  • Good understanding of food hygiene and safety standards.

  • A team-player mindset and willingness to learn.

What We Offer
  • £16.00 - £19.50 per hour including service charge

  • 5.6 weeks paid holiday (inclusive of public holidays)

  • Staff meals during shifts

  • Staff discounts and team socials

  • A welcoming, energetic team environment

  • Ongoing training and opportunities for internal progression

Why Work With Us
  • Exciting Concept: Be part of an ambitious new bar concept from a Michelin-starred chef.

  • Career Progression: Clear pathways and internal promotion opportunities as we grow.

  • Competitive Compensation: Fair pay with transparent tronc and performance recognition.

  • Work-Life Balance: Respectful rota planning and fair scheduling.

  • Development Opportunities: Ongoing learning and growth.

  • Inclusive Culture: A diverse, welcoming, and people-first environment.

  • Access to our benefits portal from day one: access to our benefits platform with high street discounts and 50% off food and drink from all our venues
