Head Chef / Kitchen Manager - New Opening

 Brand New Opening -  Start Date - Dec 26!

The Role Outline: Your Kitchen at a Glance As the Head Chef for our highly anticipated Sheffield opening, you are stepping into a completely blank canvas. This is a rare opportunity to launch Village Hotels' 35th location. You will be the architect of your own kitchen, inheriting brand new equipment and taking total ownership of recruiting, training, and leading a brand new brigade ready for a massive opening day!

Why Village? We do hospitality differently. No ego, no drama. We back our teams to take ownership and grow their careers. We show up to make a genuine difference, caring deeply about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.

Your Shift: What You’ll Actually Be Doing We trust you to handle:

• The Food: Delivering mouth-watering menus. You will ensure dishes are cooked to exact company specifications, safely and consistently, because relaxed dining still requires absolute precision.

• The Brigade: Leading from the front. You will coach and motivate your team, replacing hiring guesswork with quantifiable application velocity metrics to recruit a resilient, high-performing kitchen staff.

• The Commercial Engine: Protecting the Gross Profit. You will review wage costs using TnA and manage stock to precise par levels to hit your financial targets.

• The Standards: Owning the audit. You will drive an absolute obsession with food safety and ensure strict EHO directives are met without compromise.

How We Succeed Together We do not micromanage. We believe in Ownership & Integrity, giving you the autonomy to make decisions on the fly and run your kitchen your way.

Selling Our Benefits

• Health: Complimentary Health & Wellness Membership for you and a friend (worth £1,500), mental health days, and an Employee Assistance Programme.

• Stays & Food: Discounted stays from £35, 50% off at the Pub & Grill, and 30% off Starbucks.

• Extras: Salary drawdown via Wagestream, High Street discounts, Electric car scheme, and your birthday off guaranteed.

Think You’ve Got the Right Energy? If you have the commercial grit to run a high-volume kitchen and the passion to deliver our customers' favourites flawlessly, hit apply and let's see if our energies align.
