Are you a talented and experienced Sous Chef looking for the chance to help lead a fast-paced kitchen - all while still enjoying your evenings and weekends?
We've got an exciting opportunity for a passionate Sous Chef to join our Catering team at Morrisons Head Office in Bradford. This is a full-time permanent role, working 5 days over 7, typically Monday - Friday with a 3pm finish! Flexibility is required for occasional Saturdays and evening events, but you'll benefit from a rota that genuinely supports work-life balance.
As Sous Chef, you'll be second in command in our busy Head Office kitchen, supporting the Head Chef in leading a dedicated team and ensuring the smooth delivery of high quality food every day. Our 600-seat colleague restaurant serves a wide variety of meals, from traditional favourites and healthy options to modern street food and seasonal specials. It's a high-volume, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same and where your leadership, creativity and calm under pressure will shine.
You'll be hands-on in the kitchen, setting the tone for quality and consistency, and stepping up to lead the team in the Head Chef's absence. You'll also play a key role in developing menus, mentoring junior chefs, and supporting a strong culture of food safety and professionalism.
In return for all your hard work, you will receive:
15% discount in store from the day you join us
Additional 10% discount card for a friend or family member
Career progression and development opportunities
Generous holiday entitlement
Market leading pension scheme and life assurance

At our Head Office you will expect to find supplier showcases, charity fundraising and celebrations all year round for the events that mean the most to our colleagues.
