Pastry Sous Chef

Situated in Cabot Circus, Klosterhaus is our first restaurant in Bristol, set within the beautiful Grade 1 listed Quakers Friars building. Guests can expect a dining room that celebrates the grand cafés of central Europe; a bar serving classic and modern cocktails (a design we think oozes glamour), plus an array of event spaces and outdoor terraces.

Call this your ‘Haus away from Home’. There are so many reasons to visit, be it morning coffee or lunches, brunches, a post-shopping light bite, a sophisticated dinner in the restaurant or a 5pm cocktail (or two!).

The menu is broad-ranging, featuring some German classics – all of which are complimented by an eclectic wine and beer menu of household to less discovered names.

We are looking for a passionate Pastry Sous Chef who will have the food knowledge and skills to lead the team in order to deliver outstanding food, and in turn a superb guest experience. You will work with the Head Pastry Chef and restaurant management team to ensure consistent high standards in both service and kitchen management - with an emphasis on all aspects of Health and Safety.

As Pastry Sous Chef your main responsibilities will be to oversee and direct all aspects of the kitchen in an effective, efficient and productive manner under the guidance of the Head Chef. You will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the kitchen from mise en place to service. You will be responsible for quality, efficiency and effectiveness in which food is prepared and sent to the pass.

As a leader you will build a motivated and integrated team by clearly communicating expectations and providing constructive feedback, identify training needs and manage and assist in the training so that required standards are achieved.

We’re a truly brilliant place to work so, naturally, we have some of the very best team benefits around, which include:

• Top rate industry leading pay
• Wagestream employer- Employees can access 40% of wages before payday
• 40% discount in all our venues worldwide all day, every day
• Feeling a bit hungry on shift, we ensure you receive free tasty, healthy meals  
• Enjoy 28 days paid holiday a year, which will increase up to a month of holiday with length of service 
• LifeWorks offers- Receive exclusive monthly discounts just for D&D employees, including cashback options at retailers  
• 20% off Nuffield Health gym membership for you and your spouse
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)- Unlimited access to a confidential wellbeing programme with a 24/7 helpline 
• WeCare – A solution designed to support your mental, physical, social and financial wellbeing 
• Employee of the Month Scheme  
• Long Service awards 
• D&D Connect- Access to our award-winning training platform, to grow and develop new skills
• Want to volunteer for a cause? We’ll pay full day wage for you to give back
• Refer a friend scheme- We offer our employees paid bonuses to a ‘refer a friend’ 

Previous experience in a high-volume restaurant is essential.
