Overall
earnings up to £18.20 per hour, dependent on experience

Full time

This November,
we’re opening our tenth, and biggest, Caravan at the Southbank. And we’re
looking for a brilliant Sous Chef to help lead our kitchen team. We’re after
someone kind, confident and genuinely passionate about what they do. Someone
who knows how to lead and inspire a team, is passionate about fresh ingredients
and gets a kick out of helping their team develop and give their guests the best experience possible

You’ll be joining
Caravan as we open a special new restaurant, with two floors, multiple bars and
plenty of opportunity to make your mark from day one.

As Sous Chef,
you’ll work alongside your Head Chef and the management team to make sure the kitchen
runs brilliantly every day. That means setting the standard for health &
safety, culture, hospitality and developing the team around you to make sure every dish sent out is one you’re proud to serve. You’ll know how to lead from the front, when to coach and when to jump in and help get things moving.

• Setting the standards for health & safety and delivering excellence across the kitchen
• Making sure every dish is made consistently, confidently and to spec
• Leading by example and helping create the kind of hospitality people want to come back for
• Coaching, training and developing the kitchen team, sharing your knowledge as you go
• Giving new team members a great start through engaging training and onboarding
• Keeping on top of stock, costs, cleanliness, health & safety and all the brilliant basics that make a great kitchen work
• Working closely with the wider restaurant team to give every guest the best experience possible

Since 2010, we’ve
been serving well-travelled food, specialty coffee and drinks inspired by
flavours and ideas from around the world.

We’re a business built around curious
people. People who care about what they do, look out for each other and aren’t afraid to try something new. With more openings ahead and a big focus on developing our own people, there’s plenty of room to grow with us too.

• Free meals & drinks when on shift
• 50% dining discount with up to 4 mates
• Leadership training and development
• A dining voucher when you start, on your birthday and your work anniversary, to spend in any of our restaurants
• Real career progression - 80% of our management roles are filled internally

We live by four core values, and our Sous Chef, and every team member would live, promote and role model them:

• All welcome
  - We make space for everyone at our table
• No boundaries
  - Grow, develop and thrive, just a little bit each day
• Caravan of Love
  - Bring the energy, and be part of the change you want to see in the world
• Well-travelled
  - Be curious; learn, taste, experiment and share that knowledge with those you meet along the way

We're all in
on both environmental and social sustainability practices. Every team member
plays their part in maintaining our B-Corp certification targets.

Everyone's
welcome  respect individual differences in identity, culture and experience, with our team, and with every guest.
