Contract: Permanent
Salary: To be discussed to be discussed at venue

Junior Sous Chef – Step Up in Your Culinary Career with Britain’s Oldest Brewer!

At Shepherd Neame, we know that great food is at the heart of a memorable experience. As a Junior Sous Chef, you’ll play a key role in supporting the Head Chef and Sous Chef, leading sections of the kitchen, and ensuring dishes are prepared to the highest standard. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious chef looking to take the next step.

Where You’ll Be Working

The Old Mill in Kennington, Ashford is a cosy country pub located on Canterbury Road, overlooking Dukes Spring, a tributary of the Great Stour River. Dating back to the early 19th century, the Old Mill is a Grade II listed building, taking its name from the nearby Kennington Mill, little of which now remains, having previously been known as the Golden Ball.

What You’ll Do

  • Assist the Head Chef and Sous Chef in managing daily kitchen operations.
  • Take responsibility for your section, ensuring quality and consistency in every dish.
  • Support and mentor junior team members, helping them develop their skills.
  • Maintain high standards of hygiene, safety, and compliance at all times.
  • Contribute ideas for menu development and improvements.
  • Help with stock control, ordering, and kitchen organisation.

What’s In It For You?

  • Competitive hourly pay plus a share of tips
  • Early wage withdrawal scheme
  • 25% discount on food and drink at Shepherd Neame Managed Houses
  • 25% discount on overnight stays at Managed House Hotels
  • Up to 40% off select purchases from our Visitor Centre Shop in Faversham
  • Exclusive discounts via Sheps Hut on hundreds of high street brands
  • Access to a Workplace Mental Health Platform
  • Company pension plan
  • Career development opportunities across our pubs, Brewery, and Support Office
  • Flexible working hours to suit your lifestyle

What You’ll Need

We’re looking for behaviours that make a great Junior Sous Chef:

  • Pride in your work – you care about quality and presentation.
  • Leadership mindset – you take ownership and guide others positively.
  • Positive energy – you bring enthusiasm and a passion for food.
  • Attention to detail – you ensure consistency and high standards.
  • Adaptability – you stay calm and proactive when things get busy.
  • Team spirit – you enjoy working collaboratively and supporting colleagues.

Why Shepherd Neame?

Our culture is built on Sheps Spirit, Working Together, Pride and Passion, and Authenticity—values that have guided us for over 300 years. When you join us, you become part of a team that celebrates tradition while shaping the future.

Ready to bring your personality and passion to the kitchen?
