Senior Sous Chef

Job Description

We’re looking for a skilled, motivated and collaborative Senior Sous Chef to join the team at our exciting park café — a beautiful all-day space housed in a Georgian listed building, run by the team behind Fink’s.

This new site has its own unique identity and menu, supported by Fink’s HQ, and serves seasonal, thoughtful dishes with an emphasis on quality ingredients and casual, vibrant food.

As Senior Sous Chef, you’ll be a key part of shaping this kitchen — supporting the Head Chef in leading the team, maintaining high standards in prep and service, and helping to create an efficient, positive and inspiring kitchen environment.

We’re building something special that will run all year round — buzzing and fast-paced in the summer, warm and inviting in the winter. This role is ideal for someone who thrives under pressure and loves being part of a close-knit, hardworking team.

Job Requirements

Responsibilities:

• Supporting the Head Chef in daily kitchen operations
• Running the kitchen in the Head Chef’s absence
• Leading and motivating the team during service
• Maintaining high standards of food quality, cleanliness, and organisation
• Overseeing prep and ensuring consistency across all dishes
• Assisting with rota planning, stock control, and supplier orders
• Training and supporting junior team members
• Contributing to menu development and seasonal changes

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience as a Sous Chef
• Calm, confident and solutions-focused in a busy kitchen
• Passion for fresh, seasonal ingredients and simple, thoughtful food
• Great communication and leadership skills
• Strong organisational abilities and attention to detail
• A team player who brings energy and a positive attitude to the kitchen
