Head Chef - Aberdeen

Overview We're noisy about food. We taste it, try it, argue about it and when it's exactly right we enjoy it. When we opened the first Carluccio's in 1999 our aim was to provide this love for authentic Italian food with a memorable experience to all our guests. The aim remains the same today. Over the years we have grown to over 100 restaurants, with a plan to open another 10 restaurants a year.....and keep on doing what we love. What will I do You'll need to be an experienced, highly skilled chef, used to heading up a busy kitchen cooking fresh food to order. At Carluccio's we put enormous care into perfecting our recipes, sourcing great ingredients and training up our kitchen teams so that our customers can enjoy the most delicious Italian food, freshly made every day in every one of our restaurants. The Head Chef is key to our ability to deliver on this promise, ensuring that every dish - from focaccia bread to fresh pasta, panna cotta to risotto - is cooked perfectly to our specification, with the utmost dedication to food hygiene and food safety. To achieve this, you'll not only need to be a great chef, who thrives in a busy kitchen environment, you'll also need to be an inspirational leader; encouraging, developing and getting the best from your team, while working closely with the General Manager and Front of House.
