ARE YOU READY TO BE OUR EXTRAORDINARY HEAD CHEF?
Opening this summer in the Regency heart of Cheltenham will be a remarkable new destination coffee house called The Find.
The Find rediscovers the essence of the original English coffee house where high (and low) society spent time socialising, celebrating, gossiping, trysting, escaping, conducting business and generally indulging the many pursuits that bring pleasure to humankind.
But The Find adds much more to this long-neglected marvel of civilisation. It will offer fine artisan coffees and teas prepared by expert baristas along with a wealth of authentic, locally-produced food, all attentively served in welcoming, eclectic surroundings that blend classic Regency elegance and comfort with cutting-edge modern style.
To realise our extraordinary vision we are seeking an extraordinary Head Chef who can help us shape the business from its beginnings and ensure it will surprise and delight our audience of discerning customers - many of whom are anticipating our debut with keen interest.
We are happy to consider both highly experienced candidates with well-proven sourcing, culinary and people skills, as well as less experienced candidates with genuine passion and potential to step up to this vital role. Consequently, the rewards are negotiable, depending on experience, but will be outstanding and enhanced by your good performance.
What we are looking for from you:
Be an extraordinary chef, with previous Head Chef or Sous Chef experience
Live and breathe fantastic food and great service
Visibly care about everything you do and serve!
Be passionate, enthusiastic and aspirational
Show a track record of seizing opportunity and making a genuine difference
Become a publicly recognised part of The Find
What we will offer in return:
An outstanding salary (GBP21,000-GBP26,000, depending on experience)
Performance based incentive
Excellent internal and external training, and fantastic development opportunity
Flexible working environment with good work life balance (approx. 45 hour week)
Genuine opportunity to shape the business
Free meals on shift, and 30% discount at other times
Responsibilities
Responsible for all aspects of the kitchen operations
Develop the menu, and supplier relationships, to showcase the best of local artisan produce in an affordable and profitable manner
Work closely with all the team to deliver the highest standards of food, service and experience across the business, in a trusting and caring manner
Ensure the kitchen is adequately staffed and delivers delicious food in a pressured environment
Build, lead, manage and develop a high performing and motivated team
Manage the commercial aspects of the kitchen, including budgets and costings
Order and manage supplies to meet forecast sales
Ensure the highest standards of food quality and hygiene, including implementation of 'Safer Food, Better Business For Caterers' and food safety legislation compliance
Responsible for the maintenance of all kitchen equipment
