Description

Incipio curates beautiful spaces with vibrant atmospheres for great times.

We're looking for a dynamic Sous Chef who thrives in a fast paced, multi concept environment, from frying up crispy chicken during the lunch rush to supporting the delivery of elevated Mexican dishes for a busy dinner service.

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. You'll work closely with the Head Chef and Central Production Unit (CPU), helping to maintain exceptional food quality, manage kitchen operations, control costs, and develop your skills across multiple food concepts.

The Role

As a Sous Chef at Incipio, you will be a passionate, hands on leader who supports the Head Chef in delivering exceptional food standards and kitchen performance. You will help oversee five unique food concepts – Mexican, farm-to-fork, fried chicken, burgers, and Italian deli – ensuring consistency, quality, and smooth service across every offering.

You will play a key role in leading and developing the kitchen team, maintaining high operational standards, managing stock and food safety procedures, and stepping up to lead the kitchen in the Head Chef's absence.

We Expect You To:
  • Have a passion for hospitality and help drive your kitchen team to achieve the commercial and financial goals of the business.
  • Create a positive working atmosphere and inspire your team to deliver exceptional food standards on every shift.
  • Support the management of food GP, stock control, ordering, inventory, and waste reduction.
  • Assist in ensuring the kitchen meets all food safety, hygiene, and compliance regulations.
  • Help develop and coach junior chefs, ensuring clear communication and accountability across the team.
  • Lead by example during service, maintaining composure and high standards in a fast-paced environment.
  • Work closely with the Head Chef and Central Production Manager to ensure quality and inventory requirements are consistently met.
  • Assist with rota planning and labour management to support budget targets.
  • Participate in recruitment, onboarding, and training of new kitchen team members.
  • Support team development initiatives, performance reviews, apprenticeships, and engagement programmes.
  • Contribute ideas for menu development and concept innovation.
  • Take ownership of kitchen operations when the Head Chef is absent, working with your peer Sous Chef.
Who You'll Be:
  • An energetic and approachable leader who enjoys developing people and building strong teams.
  • An experienced Sous Chef or Senior Chef de Partie ready to take the next step in their career.
  • Comfortable working across multiple food concepts and adapting to changing service demands.
  • Passionate about food quality, presentation, and consistency.
  • Highly organised with strong communication and delegation skills.
  • Calm under pressure and confident leading a team during busy services.
  • Commercially aware with an understanding of food costs, labour, and operational efficiency.
  • Someone who leads by example and inspires others through their work ethic and attitude.
Benefits & Best Bits
  • Health Package: Dental, Optical and Health insurance, plus gym membership discounts and rewards.
  • Self Space: Free therapy support available to all Incipio employees.
  • Exciting career development opportunities across a growing business.
  • Annual bonus opportunities.
  • Company awards and events.
  • Sickness & Compassionate Pay.
  • Incentive trips (think wine trips to Portugal and ski trips to France).
  • Enhanced Maternity, Paternity and Adoption Leave.
  • Incipio FC + Seasonal Socials.
  • 50% discount on food and drink across all venues.
  • Additional holiday entitlement after two years of continuous service.
