We know that kitchen life can be challenging, and that talented chefs are worth their weight in caviar right now. So, we’ve taken a good, honest look at our kitchen teams to focus on what’s important and introduce new, innovative ways of working.

Are you passionate about food and all aspects of hospitality?

Do you want a role where you have the most amazing view from your open kitchen or whilst you are taking a well-earned break?

If you’re a Chef with big ideas, dynamic, boundless enthusiasm and a craving for better balance, then we’d love to hear from you!

Join a team that values connection, flexibility, variety, and challenge, we're all about making a meaningful impact on our guest’s holiday. Our three core values - We Care, We Notice, We Change – show what it means to work for a hotel which goes above and beyond for our team and guests. We’ve developed a wider range of contracts and shift patterns to choose from:

• Part or full-time
• Part-time (amount of shifts per week to be agreed at interview, flexible by mutual agreement)
• Full-time 4 days on, 3 days off (based on 40 hours per week)

You will have the opportunity to work across our thriving kitchens in a combined team, gaining a unique insight into different culinary styles and learning from three exceptional Head Chefs. There’s the Living Space – our place for easy seaside eating, meeting and lounging – and The Beach Hut, serving burgers, steak and seafood right on the beach and Zacrys on the sea wall, shining a light on provenance, place and perspective. Our breakfast team may need an occasional hand, along with our prep kitchen and our outdoor catering team too.
