Junior Sous Chef – Fistral

Fistral is entering an exciting new era as we evolve into a more drinks-led, social, beach-bar inspired destination. To support this next phase, we’re reshaping our kitchen and Front of House leadership teams, and we’re looking for a talented Junior Sous Chef to support our Head Chef and Sous Chef in delivering exceptional food and experiences.

As Junior Sous Chef, you’ll work closely with the Sous Chef and Head Chef, helping to maintain high standards in the kitchen and deliver dishes consistently and efficiently. You’ll take ownership of daily kitchen operations when needed, assist with menu execution, and help ensure every guest enjoys an outstanding culinary experience.

• Assist with stock control, ordering, and supplier communication
• Mentor and support junior and commis chefs, fostering a positive team environment
• Contribute to operational efficiency, productivity, and cost control
• Step up to support the Sous Chef or Head Chef when required

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in a professional kitchen, ideally in a quality-led hospitality environment
• Passion for food, drink, and delivering excellent guest experiences
• Strong teamworking and budding leadership skills
• Willingness to learn, take initiative, and develop into a more senior role
• Calm, organised, and confident under pressure
• Hands-on approach with a desire to lead by example
• Commitment to building inclusive, engaged, and high-performing teams
• Enthusiasm for contributing to the growth and evolution of Fistral’s new concept

What You’ll Get

• Mentoring and support from the Head Chef, Sous Chef, and leadership team
• Opportunities to contribute ideas to menu development, specials, and creative dishes
• Access to training, development, and progression pathways
• Competitive salary and a clear route to promotion within the kitchen
• A chance to be part of an iconic coastal business entering an exciting new phase
• A collaborative, people-focused, quality-driven working environment
