Pastry Chef De Partie

The Rutland Hotel is eagerly seeking a dynamic, ambitious, and quality-focused Chef de Partie to join our dedicated and spirited pastry team. Immerse yourself in a culinary environment serving three unique venues, each showcasing the finest sustainably sourced ingredients from Scotland's elite suppliers:
Kyloe, an acclaimed 1 AA Rosette gourmet steakhouse;
The Huxley, serving American soul food with Scottish flair, from breakfast through dinner; and Understory, our new 5
* Dive Bar.

In this hands-on role, we're looking for someone who thrives amidst high-volume, fast-paced settings. You'll take ownership of your section, ideally bringing experience as a CDP or strong Demi Chef de Partie in busy, quality-led kitchens. Experience in a Rosette-grade establishment is highly desireable. You'll run your station with confidence and consistency, supporting junior chefs around you — so solid organisation, time management, and communication skills are essential.

• Assist with stock rotation, proper labelling, and record keeping, adhering to Food Standards Procedures.
• Guide and mentor commis chefs and junior team members on your section.
• Minimise waste and work efficiently with ingredients, supporting the kitchen's cost control efforts.
• Play your part in helping the team achieve the prestigious 2 AA Rosette certification.

• A confident, capable chef with a background in fine dining or high-end hospitality.
• Consistency under pressure and pride in every plate that leaves your section.
• Hands-on operational ability is crucial — you lead your station by example.
• A fervour for exceptional food and a genuine passion for the hospitality industry, with prior Rosette-grade experience being advantageous.
• The ambition to grow, learn, and progress — we develop our chefs and promote from within.
• A team player who lifts the standard of everyone around them.

• Join an ambitious, hard-working team with a clear path to Junior Sous and beyond.
• Be part of a vibrant, determined, results-driven kitchen team.
• Flexible work patterns which respect your work/life balance.
• Competitive rate of pay and TRONC package.
• Fully funded development and training programmes to build your career.
• Access to up to 50% of your earnings before payday.
