A Sous Chef job where you can have a life outside the kitchen.
No split shifts. No late nights. Christmas Day off.
We believe great chefs shouldn’t have to sacrifice their personal life to work in hospitality.
At No Sign Wine Bar, we’ve designed our kitchen operation around genuine work-life balance. There are no split shifts and no late nights, and you’ll have your evenings back.
If you love cooking, enjoy leading a small team and want a career in hospitality without the traditional hospitality hours, this could be the role for you.
Our hours are built around work-life balance
Monday–Friday: 12pm–8pm
Saturday: 12pm–7pm
Sunday: 12pm–4pm
That means no finishing late into the evening and no coming back for a second shift.
And, because we believe Christmas should be spent with the people who matter, Christmas Day is always off.
The role
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Sous Chef to join our independent kitchen team.
Working alongside the Head Chef/Director, you’ll have genuine input into our food offering and play an important role in creating the dishes that our customers love.
You’ll be responsible for:
* Creating and delivering exciting, flavoursome and well-balanced dishes
* Developing menus and specials alongside the Head Chef/Director
* Managing and supporting a small kitchen team
* Maintaining high standards of food quality and presentation
* Stock control and ordering
* Maintaining excellent cleanliness and organisation
* Driving HACCP policies and procedures
* Helping create a positive and enjoyable kitchen environment
We’re an independent venue and we believe hospitality can be ambitious without being all-consuming.
We want our chefs to have the opportunity to cook great food, develop their skills, contribute ideas and lead a team — while still having time for family, friends, hobbies and life outside work.
What you get:
* £35,000+ salary
* No split shifts
* No late nights
* Christmas Day off
* Sunday finish at 4pm
* Free meals on shift
* 50% employee discount
* On-site parking
* Full-time, permanent position
* Genuine creative input into menus
* Supportive independent working environment
* A kitchen culture that values work-life balance
About you
You’ll ideally have at least 2 years’ experience in a similar kitchen environment and be confident working to a high standard.
We’re looking for someone who is:
* Passionate about food
* Creative and enthusiastic
* Organised and reliable
* Comfortable leading a small team
* Serious about quality
* Positive and professional
* Looking for a long-term role with a better work-life balance
Great food. A great team. And a life outside the kitchen.
