Sous Chef – Cambridge up to £35,000 (DOE) Plus tips and live in available 
This is your chance to be part of a culinary transformation, working alongside an exceptional Head Chef to elevate a kitchen to 2AA Rosette standard from the ground up. With live-in accommodation included and clear pathways for career progression within a growing hospitality group, this Sous Chef position offers both stability and the opportunity to truly make your mark.

My client is embarking on an exciting journey to rebuild and refine their culinary offering, and they need an ambitious Sous Chef to play a key leadership role in this transformation. You'll be supporting the Head Chef in developing a motivated brigade, crafting outstanding dishes that showcase creativity and precision, and helping to establish a strong team culture built on quality and passion. This is a rare opportunity to shape a kitchen's direction whilst working with the best seasonal ingredients in a dynamic, professional environment.

The ideal Sous Chef for this role will thrive on quality, consistency, and innovation, bringing professionalism and composure to a busy kitchen. If you have experience at Sous Chef or strong Junior Sous Chef level in high-quality kitchens—ideally 2AA Rosette standard or above—and you're passionate about mentoring others and delivering exceptional food, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

What makes this opportunity even more appealing:
  • Competitive salary up to £35,000 per annum, depending on experience
  • Live-in accommodation available
  • Generous tips on top of your salary
  • 28 days holiday, increasing yearly to 33 days
My client, is a thriving group that genuinely invests in their people, offering excellent training, progression opportunities, and a supportive culture where diversity and sustainability sit at the heart of everything they do. If you're ready to step up as a Sous Chef and be part of something remarkable, we'd love to hear from you.
