We are looking for an outstanding and talented Sous Chef to join our the team at The Whippet Inn. The Whippet is a local pub in the heart of Kensal Rise, dedicated to producing fantastic food and delivering great service. We pride ourselves on creating an atmosphere that reflects our vibrant neighbouring communities of Kensal Rise, Queens Park and Willesden.
With the best producers and suppliers on our side, we offer modern seasonal food, complimented by an excellent range of local and continental craft beer with a wine list to match. Our heated, all-weather garden space is a mecca for alfresco drinking, dining and private hire, and our pub is the perfect place to meet friends and family for a drink, a bite, or both. Join us seven days a week for lunch or dinner, grab a coffee or just roll in for a few pints.

This amazing opportunity is ideal for someone who loves working with fresh premium and seasonal products and preferably experience within gastro pubs; loves working in a busy kitchen; understands and delivers a perfect service with or without the Head Chef present; can lead the kitchen team to success consistently and is excited by innovation and change to secure outstanding results for the business.

You Are:

• Able to take responsibility for our kitchen team in absence of the Head Chef to ensure service, safety and security expectations are all met to the the highest of standards
• Passionate about training our team to ensure they have the knowledge needed to excite our customers and deliver outstanding food
• Able to work with the Head Chef to train and uphold the agreed standards
• Able to assist the General Manager and Head Chef in identifying potential opportunities and products to maximise sales and enhance the customer experience
• Able to prepare and present all our food dishes to an outstanding standard of presentation as appropriate for the day of the week and time of day
• Able to support the Head Chef in the development, implementation and review of the menu to maximise sales in line with pub vision and business plan

What's in it for me:

• Competitive salary + bonus
• Be part of a brand new opening
• Training and development
• Career progression and promotion opportunities with regular new openings around the corner
• Get out and about, you automatically get discounts across all our pubs, bars and restaurants
• Team trips, regular incentives and socials – a fun, family atmosphere
• Goes without saying, but we’ll feed you during your shift
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to support you across those tough times
• Good people know good people - an awesome referral scheme where you can earn up to £1000 per successful referral
• Access your Wages anytime through Wagestream
• Birthdays are for celebrating, so have the day off on us
• Cycle to work scheme
