THE ROLE
We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on chef who is ready to get stuck in and support what we do best across the Distinctive Inns estate.
This role would be ideally suited to somebody already operating at Head Chef level who is looking to take their first step into a multi-site position, or an experienced multi-site chef looking to join an ambitious and ever-growing independent company.
No two days will necessarily look the same. You could be supporting one of our kitchens during periods of holiday, helping a team through a particularly busy trading period, delivering additional training and development, supporting new menu launches, or simply providing another experienced pair of hands wherever the business needs it most.
We’re looking for somebody with a positive, solutions-focused attitude, strong kitchen standards and, most importantly, someone who genuinely enjoys being hands-on with their teams. This isn’t a role for somebody who wants to manage kitchens from a distance – we want someone who is comfortable putting their chef whites on, getting involved in service and helping our teams deliver at their best.
As our company continues to grow, this is a fantastic opportunity for somebody looking for variety, responsibility and the chance to develop their experience across multiple high-volume businesses.
OUR VISION
Distinctive Inns will be the leading independently owned pub company in the East Midlands by consistently providing our customers with an uncompromised approach to delivering the highest quality in food & drink in exceptionally stylish interiors, combining comfort and atmosphere with outstanding service to create a brand which offers a memorable drinking & dining experience.
TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT
Distinctive Inns is an independent pub company in constant growth with a proven track record of promoting from within. We pride ourselves on the development of every individual, in every team, and we will provide you access to a wide variety of training courses with nationally recognised accreditations and qualifications.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT & COMPANY ETHOS
We are an innovative, forward-thinking company, and we use some of the most cutting-edge technologies in the industry to help us succeed. Whether it is reservation management, rostering, health & safety compliance or procurement, we have partnered with some incredible companies which help our businesses run smoothly.
We believe communication is key and that every department must work in harmony to be successful. You will receive regular pay reviews which run in conjunction with performance appraisals, giving you the opportunity to move into a more senior role as soon as you are ready.
OUR MISSION
To give our customers the best drinking & dining experience possible through consistently providing exceptional Food, Drink, Service, Surroundings and Value.
