Job Description

Join White Rabbit Hospitality as Senior Sous Chef, Graduate Cambridge | OTE £44,500 per annum. Some kitchens just feed people. This one sits on the River Cam, and it's looking for its next leader. Picture it: punts drifting past the window, the buzz of a full service behind you, and a brigade that looks to you to set the standard. Graduate Cambridge is one of the city's most beautiful hotels, and we're hiring a Senior Sous Chef to help lead its kitchen. This is the role for a chef who's done waiting in the wings and is ready to run the pass, shape the food and build a team that's proud to wear the whites.

Job Responsibility

  • Leading the kitchen shoulder to shoulder with the Executive Chef, and taking the reins entirely when they're off
  • Setting the pace and holding the standard across every section, every single service
  • Building, training and inspiring the brigade, from your Commis to your Chefs de Partie
  • Owning food safety, allergen management and HACCP compliance without compromise
  • Keeping a tight grip on GP, food cost, stock, ordering and waste
  • Bringing creativity to specials, menu development and seasonal change
  • Running a clean, organised, calm kitchen that fires on time, every time
  • Working hand in glove with front of house to make every service feel effortless

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a Senior Sous Chef, or a hungry Sous Chef ready for the step up, ideally in a hotel or quality restaurant kitchen
  • A natural leader who gets the best out of a team and lifts the people around them
  • Strong command of food safety, allergens, HACCP and kitchen compliance
  • A commercial head for GP, food cost, ordering and waste
  • Calm, consistent and unshakeable when the tickets pile up
  • Real passion for great food, high standards and growing the next generation of chefs
  • The right to work in the UK

What we offer

  • A senior leadership role in one of Cambridge's most beautiful riverside kitchens
  • A genuine, supported path to Head Chef
  • Team member dining discounts across the entire White Rabbit Hospitality portfolio
  • Ongoing training and development as the property and the wider group grow
  • A supportive People Team and a culture where team members are valued, not numbered
  • Meals on duty and a professional, well-run kitchen you'll be proud to lead
  • A seat in a fast-growing, ambitious group with real opportunities across the UK and beyond
