Sous Chef

About Us:

Combining two evolving street food kitchens, four vibrant bars, two 9-hole indoor golf courses, a shuffleboard basement, private screening and event spaces, and a stunning roof terrace overlooking Jesus Green, The Tivoli is one of Cambridge’s most exciting hospitality destinations.

At the heart of the venue are our two flexible pop-up kitchen spaces, built around fresh, seasonal food concepts that evolve throughout the year. These kitchens are designed to constantly adapt, giving chefs the opportunity to develop and rotate menus, explore different cuisines, and bring new ideas to life in a high-volume, fast-paced environment.

Whether it’s elevated street food, modern comfort dishes, global flavours or seasonal specials, we want chefs who are passionate about creativity, fresh ingredients and delivering exciting food experiences that keep guests coming back.

This is a unique opportunity for chefs looking to broaden their experience across multiple concepts while working within a busy, energetic venue that thrives on atmosphere and innovation. The ever-changing nature of the kitchens allows chefs to sharpen their skills, build confidence across different styles of cooking and be part of something genuinely dynamic.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for ambitious, energetic chefs who love working with fresh food. You’ll be adaptable, creative and confident working across changing menus and concepts, bringing consistency, pace and passion to every service.

The Tivoli is not your average hospitality venue. We want chefs with personality, strong team spirit and a genuine excitement for creating food that matches the energy of the venue itself. From packed weekends and large events to seasonal launches and collaborative pop-ups, no two services are the same.

If you’re looking to grow your experience, work with a supportive and ambitious team, and be part of one of Cambridge’s most exciting hospitality venues, we’d love to hear from you.
