Key Responsibilities

As a Junior Sous Chef, you’ll be a driving force in the kitchen, energising and supporting the team to craft exceptional dishes and create unforgettable guest experiences.

You’ll take an active role in the day‑to‑day running of the kitchen – overseeing service, maintaining excellent food quality and presentation, and ensuring a clean, safe and well‑organised workspace. Working closely with the Sous Chef and Head Chef, you’ll help to develop and deliver innovative, seasonal menus using locally sourced produce.

You’ll also mentor and motivate your colleagues, sharing your knowledge and helping to build a positive, high‑performing kitchen culture. Your expertise will support us in maintaining our 2 AA Rosette standard of excellence and further enhancing Greenhills’ reputation for outstanding food.

If you’re driven by a passion for culinary excellence and ready to take the next step in your career, we’d love to hear from you.
