Senior Chef de Partie

Job Description

Joyau is a lively and welcoming neighbourhood wine bar/bottle shop in Forest Gate. We are open from breakfast through to dinner, mirroring the 'service continu' of French brasseries. 

We offer a broad selection of wines from easy-drinking piquettes to more elegant classics, alongside a clutch of deli products and merchandise. Our menu is French-leaning (not exclusively), but above all we are committed to using the best quality ingredients, respecting seasonality and working with producers that share our ethos and love of food. 

We are so fortunate to have the loyal following of a thriving local community, and aim to deliver the highest level of customer service, whether that be through our food offering, wine list or events, whilst retaining a casual neighbourhood feel. 

Job Requirements

We are seeking an enthusiastic, talented and motivated CDP or Junior Sous Chef to join our team and contribute ideas to our breakfast, lunch and dinner offering. 

Occasionally, we invite guest chefs to cook at Joyau – this year we've confirmed pop ups with Malik (l'Orillon, Paris) Julie Heyti and Cheri Bibi from Biarritz – giving us the exciting opportunity to work with some talented chefs, from both near and far, and give our locals a chance to try something different to our usual menu.

Responsibilities

• Work with our team to deliver and execute our existing recipes to a high standard
• Maintain the highest standards for quality, presentation, and cleanliness
• Manage and maintain kitchen stock and participate in weekly/daily orders
• Ensure all health and safety regulations are followed
• Lead by example and maintain a positive and professional work environment
• Help develop, cost and create new ideas and menu items

• Passionate about food and committed to continuous learning
• Experienced in their field, with a proven track record working in a restaurant or a wine bar
• Passionate about hospitality and committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences
• Excited to play a pivotal role in shaping our business

What We Offer

We are a small team who offer a caring and supportive workplace where our team members feel valued.

• Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
• 30% staff discount 
• Wine tastings, on and off-site 
• We take pride in offering a balanced working week, including a mixture of day and evening shifts as well as a consisted weekend day off
