Our Ethos
Work Hard. Be Nice. That’s our motto – and it’s the kind of team you’ll be joining.
Who we are:
Since our first venue opened in 2015, Rarebreed Dining has been driven by an uncompromising commitment to quality, and an ambition to deliver experiences that go beyond our guests’ expectations – every single time. What began with a shared passion for exceptional steak, outstanding produce and expertly crafted cocktails has evolved into something much bigger, but our focus has never changed: doing things properly, and aways raising the bar.
At the heart of everything we do are our people. We truly believe that creating the right culture – one that inspires, supports, and challenges our teams – is fundamental to our success. By investing in our people, we empower them to deliver unforgettable moments for every guest who walks through our doors.
The Role:
We’re looking for an experienced and passionate Senior Sous Chef to join and support the Head Chef in leading the kitchen team. As well as your passion for cooking and all things food related, you are a creative and driven chef with an evolving interest in menu development. Over your years in the industry, you will have evolved into a chef that is hungry to learn & confident leading a team in the kitchen. By working closely with the Head Chef, you will help your team to navigate the pressure of the kitchen and ensure your team achieve their full potential.
A few key responsibilities of the role include;
o To maintain consistent quality and quantity control in all aspects, from portion control to freshness of the food presented
o To demonstrate control over the stock rotation of food, wastage, CCP, and all health & safety elements of leading a kitchen
o To support the Head Chef with the training and development of the team to ensure everyone is utilised to the best of their potential
o To understand and comply with food hygiene regulations and HACCP, as well as COSSH trained
o To represent the Head Chef and the business to the best of your ability when the Head Chef is away, resulting in a happy team, a well-controlled GP, and great trust between the guest and us
You’ll bring:
As you’d expect, we do have some expectations on the level of experience we require. We would hope that you;
o Have previous experience as a Sous Chef in a similar kitchen where you supported the Head Chef with menu development, stock control, and people management
o Are passionate and enthusiastic about the industry and driven to progress
o Have experience leading service ensuring consistency and quality in every dish that comes out of that kitchen
o Have great communication skills and the ability to work well within a team
You will report to the Head Chef and will work closely together to ensure the kitchen team are thriving and the menu offered reflects the demand and style of our guests. It is your menu and your vision which set the tone of the venue and as a result, we want to find the right balance of personality and experience.
