The Role Outline: Your Shift at a Glance As our Breakfast Chef, you are the absolute backbone of our morning service. You will take ownership of the breakfast rush and roll straight into lunch prep, working a 40 hour week over up to 5 days, meaning you get 2 days off and your evenings belong entirely to you.
Why Village? At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating great experiences for our guests and each other. That is why we back our teams to be themselves, take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers.
Previous experience is great, but your attitude and absolute reliability matter much more to us. If you are friendly, positive, a genuine morning person, and enjoy being part of a busy team, we will give you all the support, training, and opportunities you need. Because it really does take a Village.
How the Village Thrives We live our culture through four simple commitments:
We Can & We Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work everyday, with purpose.
We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best and look out for each other.
We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.
Your Shift: What You Will Actually Be Doing As our Breakfast Chef, you are the engine of the morning shift. We trust you to handle:
The Early Start: Committing to a highly reliable 5:30 AM start time. We need someone we can absolutely depend on to open the kitchen and get the section ready before the guests even wake up.
The Breakfast Floor: Operating flawlessly as a Demi Commis. You will run the breakfast service, ensuring every single plate leaving the pass meets our exact standards for quality and temperature.
The Lunch Transition: Keeping the momentum going. Once breakfast is packed away, you will switch gears to assist the Head Chef and the wider brigade with essential prep over the lunch period.
The Standards: Driving an obsession with food safety and brand delivery. You will ensure deliveries are checked, dishes are cooked to FRESH specifications, and strict HACCP and EHO directives are met without compromise.
How We Succeed Together We do not micromanage. It takes a village, so we believe in Ownership & Integrity, giving you the autonomy to handle your area and make decisions on the fly. We Empower & Elevate our people. If you want Room to Grow, we provide funded qualifications and internal moves. We constantly Innovate & Progress so we can Inspire Excellence and smash our targets together.
