Working closely with the Executive Head Chef, Senior Sous Chef, and wider management team, you will play a key role in maintaining the exacting standards expected of one of Scotland's most respected hospitality destinations.

• Base salary of £33,990 plus an estimated £6,000 annual share of gratuities

• Three days off every week
• Free staff meals
• On-site parking
• 5.6 weeks annual holiday entitlement
• Paid training and shift breaks
• Workplace pension scheme
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities
• Career progression within a respected privately owned luxury hotel group

The Role

• Take responsibility for your section and ensure consistently high standards during service
• Prepare and present dishes to the highest quality, using fresh seasonal ingredients
• Support the delivery of restaurant, private dining, wedding, and banqueting services
• Work closely with senior chefs to maintain kitchen standards, efficiency, and consistency
• Assist in training and supporting junior members of the brigade
• Ensure food hygiene, safety, and kitchen cleanliness standards are always maintained
• Contribute positively to the teamwork and culture of a professional kitchen environment

About You
We're looking for a chef who combines strong technical ability with a genuine passion for hospitality and a desire to continually improve.
You'll ideally have:

• Experience within a quality hotel, restaurant, or premium hospitality operation
• A good understanding of fresh food preparation and service standards
• Strong organisational skills and an ability to remain calm under pressure
• A positive attitude and willingness to learn from an experienced leadership team
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to teamwork
• A passion for Scottish produce and seasonal cooking

Most importantly, we're looking for a chef who takes pride in their work, respects their colleagues, and consistently strives to deliver food of the highest standard. This is an opportunity to join a brigade where professionalism, teamwork, and attention to detail are valued just as highly as culinary skill.

Why Join?
This is more than just a Chef de Partie position. It's an opportunity to develop your career within one of Scotland's leading luxury hospitality operations, working alongside experienced chefs who are committed to mentoring and developing talent. If you're ambitious, driven, and passionate about your profession, this role offers an outstanding platform for your next career move.
