About us

At Fazenda, we bring all the tradition behind the unique rodizio way of serving, from the Pampas to the UK. Offering continuous tableside service of the finest grilled meats and South-American sides, our goal is to deliver an unforgettable experience to our guests, time and time again.

A place where provenance, quality and tradition meets modern sophistication, we pride ourselves on excellence in delivery through exceptional service and a highly-knowledgeable team.

Founded in 2010 in Leeds, Yorkshire - we have established ourselves as one of the leading operators in South American cuisine, having expanding our award-winning brand across major cities in the UK.

About The Role

We are looking for a personable and conscientious chef to join our team as our Sous Chef. As a rodizio restaurant our back of house teams are split in to two; the kitchen and the grill. Our meats are prepared and cooked in the grill section by the grill team, whilst the kitchen team take responsibility for creating our a la carte dishes, side dishes, desserts and vegetarian options to be delivered to our guests.

As the Sous Chef you will oversee the running of both departments, alongside the Head Chef, ensuring high levels of guest care at all times, our meats and kitchen prepared dishes are cooked to the highest standards as well as acting as a role model for your team. 

We believe that it is our people that make the difference and help us stand out as being the best. If you are passionate, warm and genuine, we want to hear from you. You will need to be a strong communicator, a team player, have the willingness to learn, show great initiative and share our values of providing the highest quality of service and products to all of our guests.

  • A proactive leadership style and good people skills, adaptive to a diverse working environment
  • Confidence and adaptability in communications with the team and with senior management, receiving instructions courteously and delegating appropriately and politely.

The successful person will need to demonstrate the following attributes:
