Why choose our Client?
Situated in the glorious Leicestershire countryside, this award-winning spa hotel doesn't just focus on the wellbeing of its guests, but their staff too. Their ethos is about relaxation and wellbeing.
This family-run business serves good quality, healthy, locally sourced, fresh food. Dining here is a multi-sensory experience that can be enjoyed in either the restaurant or the bar area. It's a busy operation catering for breakfast of 180 covers, buffet-style lunches for 250 covers, and an average of 50-100 covers at dinnertime.
Accommodation is available with this role if relocating to the area, however, please note that this is off-site. Due to its rural location, our client does kindly offer a free transportation service from both the Melton Mowbray and Asfordby areas should you not drive. The staff accommodation is also along this route too.
What's involved?
As the Junior Sous Chef, you will be responsible for directing the food preparation process amongst an experienced team of 23 chefs, delegating tasks amongst them as well as motivating and working closely with each.
You will be a passionate 'foodie'; preparing and cooking good quality, nutritious dishes to a consistently excellent standard using fresh produce, whilst also ensuring the team maintains the same high standards too. Presentation is important here, so you should have a good eye for detail, be able to work under pressure and be confident in working with fresh produce as most items are made in-house including breads and ice cream.
You'll supervise all sections of the kitchen, assisting with determining food inventory needs, stock takes and ordering whilst also ensuring both yourself and the team have high standards of food hygiene and follow the rules of health and safety at all times.
