Interaction Recruitment are currently recruiting for an experienced and enthusiastic Sous Chef to join a busy hospitality team in Witney.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a team-focused Chef who enjoys being hands-on and getting involved in all aspects of the operation. This is not a typical Chef/FOH separation – everyone works together as one team, and you will be expected to get involved wherever needed to ensure the service runs smoothly.

We are looking for someone who is presentable, reliable, hard working and has a positive attitude, with a willingness to get stuck in and support both the kitchen and front-of-house teams.

Ordering stock and managing kitchen requirements
Menu planning
Organising the FOH team and delegating tasks
Batch cooking and food preparation
Maintaining a high standard of service
Supporting breakfast service 07:30 – 10:00
Supporting lunch service 11:30 – 14:00
Assisting with hospitality and events
Assisting with deliveries
Working closely with the Front of House team and helping wherever required
Reporting machine breakdowns, including Lavazza coffee machines and kitchen equipment
Liaising professionally with the client
Ensuring high standards of cleanliness, presentation and food quality are maintained

Holiday Cover

The successful candidate will also be required to provide pre-booked holiday cover when necessary, including:

Night Service: 18:00 – 02:00
Weekend Service: 07:30 – 14:30
These shifts will be for pre-booked holiday cover and will be communicated in advance.

About You

We are looking for someone who:

Has previous experience working as a Sous Chef or in a similar senior kitchen role
Is a genuine team player
Has a positive and professional attitude
Is presentable and takes pride in their work
Speaks and understands a good level of English
Is flexible and willing to get involved in all areas of the operation
Is comfortable working alongside the FOH team
Can confidently organise, delegate and support other team members
Is reliable, hard working and able to work well under pressure
Takes pride in delivering excellent food and hospitality
Is happy to roll their sleeves up and do whatever needs doing to get the job done!
