Chef at Coviello
We are looking for a Chef to join the team at Coviello, our small Italian café and wine bar in the heart of Durham. This is a little different from a traditional restaurant kitchen. We are looking for someone who is confident working independently, organised and enjoys having responsibility for their own kitchen.
The role will mainly focus on breakfast and daytime food, preparing simple, fresh and well-presented dishes for our customers. You will be working in a small kitchen, so being comfortable working on your own and managing your time well is important. You don’t need to be a head chef of a large restaurant or have experience managing a big team. What matters to us is that you know your way around a kitchen, take pride in your food and can work calmly and independently.
What you’ll be doing
- Preparing breakfast and daytime dishes to a consistent standard
- Preparing ingredients and keeping the kitchen organised - Managing your own service and working efficiently
- Maintaining high standards of cleanliness and food safety
- Helping with ordering and stock when needed
- Working closely with the front-of-house team
- Bringing your own ideas and experience to the kitchen.
Who we’re looking for Someone who is:
- An experienced and confident cook
- Comfortable working independently
- Organised and reliable
- Passionate about good, simple food
- Happy working in a small, friendly café environment
- Able to maintain high standards without unnecessary stress or complication.
Most importantly, we are looking for the right person rather than a long list of qualifications. Coviello is a small business, and you will have the opportunity to have a real influence on what we serve and how the kitchen works. If you enjoy cooking, like working independently and want to be part of a friendly Italian café, we’d love to hear from you.
