We’re looking for an exceptional Sous Chef to join our team at Richmond Hill Hotel, an independent Georgian gem overlooking London’s greenest borough.

Just a stone’s throw from the royal park, we’re where city buzz meets leafy calm. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and their warmth, energy and creativity have earned us a place on The Sunday Times’ and The Caterer’s lists of top industry employers.

We believe real luxury is found in thoughtful touches, genuine care, and attention to detail. That is what can make guests feel truly special.  

What’s in it for you… 

• You’ll enjoy a competitive annual salary between £40k - £45k depending on experience plus a monthly service charge averaging £450-500 per month 
• Access to hundreds of online perks & discounts

• Bespoke career development through internal and external training schemes 
• Refer a friend scheme, with up to £500 incentive Hotel recognition Programme including our Employee of the Month and Manager of the Quarter awards, long service awards, rewards payments 
• Flexible working patterns, as well as much more...

Is this Sous Chef position right for me?

We are looking for a passionate and experienced Sous Chef to join our kitchen team, with a primary focus on leading and overseeing our Banqueting operation.

This is an exciting opportunity for a talented chef who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys delivering exceptional food for weddings, conferences, private events, and special occasions.

As Sous Chef, you will play a key role in ensuring the smooth delivery of all banqueting services, maintaining high food quality standards, supporting menu execution, and leading the team during service. You will also contribute to the wider success of the kitchen by assisting with day-to-day operations, mentoring junior team members, and helping to drive consistency and excellence across all food outlets.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced chef who is looking to take ownership of a key area of the kitchen operation, contribute to menu development, and play an important leadership role within the brigade.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience as a Sous Chef or strong Junior Sous Chef in a hotel, banqueting, events, or high-volume kitchen environment.
• A passion for delivering exceptional food and guest experiences.
• Strong organisational and leadership skills.
• The ability to perform under pressure while maintaining high standards.
• A flexible approach and willingness to support all areas of the kitchen operation.
• A commitment to food safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
• If you are passionate about hospitality, enjoy leading teams, and want to be part of a dynamic kitchen operation, we would love to hear from you.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your culinary career and thrive in a team that values your skills, creativity, and growth, we’d love to hear from you!
