As Sous Chef you'll be right at the heart of the Gallico Lounge kitchen; supporting your Head Chef, leading the team through each service, and making sure every dish that leaves the pass is something to be proud of.
If you love real cooking, care about the people around you, and take pride in doing the small things brilliantly, you'll fit right in. We're a growing hospitality brand across England and Wales with over 300 sites and plenty of opportunity to grow with us.
This could be the start of something really good. *What's in it For You?* * Competitive base salary + bonus + overtime * Permanent full-time role; 48-hour contract (40-hour contract option available) * Overtime pay for every hour worked * Achievable bonus scheme, paid twice a year * Tips shared equally across the team, based on hours worked * Free meal on every shift no matter the length * Christmas and Boxing Day off * Genuine career development with our in-house training courses and 'Step-Up' to GM / HC development programmes * 50% discount on food and drinks from day one.
