Join us at an exciting time
The Juice Smith is a Soil Association-certified organic juice company, vegetarian café and wellness brand, and we're growing fast. On the back of strong trading across our restaurant, wholesale and online channels, we're looking to open two new sites next year — and we want a Chef de Partie who's ready to grow with us and take on more responsibility as we expand.
This isn't just a kitchen job. It's a chance to help shape a menu and a brand that's genuinely pushing vegetarian food forward, with real opportunities for career progression as new sites come online.
The Role
Working alongside our Head Chef, Sous Chef and the rest of the kitchen team, you'll take ownership of your section — delivering consistently high-quality, fresh food, keeping mise en place sharp, and helping maintain the standards that make our seasonal, health-conscious menu stand out.
You'll be:
- Producing food to a consistently high standard across a range of kitchen sections
- Upholding excellent hygiene, cleaning and kitchen safety standards
- Following our food policy and allergen procedures closely
- Bringing your own creativity and flair to an evolving, seasonal menu
- Managing and developing your section, and mentoring newer team members
- Keeping stock organised, rotated, and section-ready for service
About You
You've worked in a busy, quality-driven kitchen and know what consistency really takes. You're diligent, proactive and always looking to learn — with a flexible, positive approach to your work and a genuine team spirit. You communicate well, motivate others, and enjoy bringing a bit of flair to the everyday.
You'll need:
- At least 1 years’ experience as a chef
- Level 2 Food Safety certificate
- A collaborative, can-do attitude and a passion for great food
What We Offer
- A clear path for career development as we open new sites in the coming year
- The chance to work with a genuinely innovative, health-focused, vegetarian menu
- Approachable, caring management who support your development
- Staff discount on our juices, food and retail products
- Free staff meals on shift
- No evenings, no doubles
- Great staff parties
- Pension scheme
- Uniform provided
- A supportive, close-knit kitchen team
- The opportunity to grow with an ambitious, expanding brand
If you're a chef who wants to build something with us — not just clock in and out — we'd love to hear from you.
