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 Senior 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.

Key responsibilities include preparing and cooking dishes according to recipes and standards set by the head chef while 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, including presentation and taste, is 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 is also a key part of the role. You will collaborate with the head chef to develop and taste new recipes, providing suggestions for improvement or innovation. Additionally, you will maintain cleanliness and organisation of the kitchen, ensuring equipment is in good working order.

At BaxterStorey, we have created beautiful spaces, exciting menus, and friendly teams for almost 20 years, delivering exceptional hospitality experiences across various locations including offices, stadiums, cathedrals, and universities. We are committed to supporting your career growth and helping you build a hospitality legacy you can be proud of.
