Job description:

This new opening in the City Centre of Edinburgh is looking for a Head Chef to assist with the development of their new location. The owners are already successful in hospitality, however this is a new direction and they're looking for the right pair of hands to steer their ship.

The Head Chef will be responsible for leading the kitchen team and ensuring smooth daily operations, overseeing food preparation and presentation, and maintaining high standards of hygiene and food safety.

They will manage stock control, support menu development with Scottish-inspired dishes, and train and mentor kitchen staff.

The Head Chef will work closely with front-of-house management to ensure a cohesive and efficient service.

A Sous Chef and additional team members will be welcomed to support the Head Chef as the team grows.

Staff meals, a positive team environment, performance incentives, and opportunities to grow as the business expands are just a few of the perks available. You'll be part of a new and promising restaurant and will be given the support to bring the dream into reality.

You must have demonstrable experience at a similar level in a similar role. There's no accommodation available, however due to the location there are excellent public transport links.
