£30,000 Salary | 35 Hours Per Week | 4-Day Working Week | Performance Bonus | Card Tronc & Cash Tips
At La Finca Eivissa, we believe that the best chefs produce the best food when they have a healthy work-life balance.
That's why this is a genuine 35-hour full-time contract spread across just four days a week, giving you three days off every week to enjoy life outside the kitchen, recharge and come back inspired.
If you're tired of 50-60 hour weeks with no personal life, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
About the Role
We're looking for an ambitious, reliable and passionate Head Chef to lead our independent Ibiza-inspired tapas restaurant in Liverpool city centre.
This is the ideal opportunity for an experienced Sous Chef ready to take the next step and run their own kitchen with complete creative freedom.
We're not looking for someone to simply maintain a menu, we're looking for someone who wants to put their own stamp on an already established restaurant.
What We're Looking For
- Minimum 3 years' experience as a Sous Chef in a fast-paced kitchen.
- Someone with exceptional reliability, professionalism and a strong work ethic.
- A chef who takes real pride in punctuality, consistency and leading by example.
- Extremely high standards of cleanliness, food safety and kitchen hygiene.
- Flexible and committed to the needs of the business, including weekends.
- Passionate about creating incredible food and developing a motivated kitchen team.
- Someone who's hungry to grow their career and build a long-term future, not just find another job.
What You'll Be Doing
- Taking full responsibility for running the kitchen.
- Leading and inspiring the kitchen team.
- Creating exciting new menus every six months.
- Designing weekly specials with complete creative freedom.
- Managing ordering, stock control and food GP.
- Delivering consistently high-quality food.
- Maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and organisation.
- Working alongside the owners to help shape the future of the business.
What You'll Get
✔ £30,000 annual salary
✔ A genuine 35-hour full-time contract
✔ 4-day working week with three days off every week
✔ Excellent work-life balance - because great chefs deserve a life outside the kitchen
✔ Card tronc and cash tips
✔ Performance bonus after successful completion of your 3-month probation, based on a percentage of weekly dry food salesn kitchen GP and wage %
✔ Complete creative freedom over menu development
✔ The opportunity to grow within the business as we expand, with the possibility of opening additional venues in the future
✔ The chance to build your own reputation within Liverpool's hospitality scene while leading an established independent restaurant
More Than Just a Job
We're not looking for another employee who'll be here for six months before moving on.
We're looking for someone who wants to become part of our work family.
Someone who wants to build something they're genuinely proud of. Someone who wants to grow with the business, help shape its future and build their own name within Liverpool's hospitality industry.
If our expansion plans become reality, we want our Head Chef to grow alongside us and have the opportunity to lead future projects and venues.
We're investing in the right person, and we're looking for someone who's ready to invest in us too.
If you're an ambitious Sous Chef ready to become a Head Chef, or an existing Head Chef looking for a role that offers genuine work-life balance, creative freedom and long-term career progression, we'd love to hear from you.
Send us your CV along with a short introduction telling us why you'd be the perfect fit for La Finca Eivissa.
