About the Role
Calling all culinary connoisseurs that are obsessed about food, we need you! If you have an insatiable appetite for the culinary arts and a burning desire to create food that delights customers and clients, then look no further. At BaxterStorey we offer an exceptional culinary playground where your creativity can flourish, your talents can shine and we wholeheartedly believe in nourishing talent and empowering our chefs to continuously evolve, refine their craft and create a development partnership together to ensure professional growth opportunities.

We have an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Junior Sous Chef to join our team. This is a fantastic chance for a passionate chef to take the next step in their culinary career and be part of a business that is obsessed about food and developing talent.

Your key responsibilities will include preparing and cooking dishes according to recipes and standards set by the head chef, ensuring food safety standards are adhered to at all times. You will oversee the production of all dishes assigned to your station, maintain your designated area with supplies, and ensure cleanliness in line with policies and procedures. Maintaining high quality standards for all dishes, ensuring presentation and taste is considered at all times, will be essential.

Team collaboration is vital; you will communicate positively and effectively with all team members and assist or support colleagues where necessary. Coaching junior chefs to support their development will also be part of your role. You will collaborate with the head chef to develop and taste new recipes, providing suggestions for improvement or innovation. Additionally, maintaining cleanliness and organisation of the kitchen, including your designated area and ensuring equipment is in good working order, will be expected.

For almost 20 years, BaxterStorey has created beautiful spaces, exciting menus, and friendly teams for every client and location, whether that’s an office, stadium, cathedral or university, so that each and every customer can have the hospitality experience they deserve. We need the brightest and best to join us to make this all possible. We will support you to create your hospitality legacy and build a career that you are proud of.

Our drive and belief in our people means we always strive to supercharge our team’s careers. ‘Better’ is a daily habit that sits deep within our DNA, meaning learning will be front and centre of your experience working with us. Join us, and be part of the food revolution!
