• A positive attitude and willingness to learn
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills
• Ability to perform under pressure whilst maintaining high standards
• Interest in sustainability, provenance and farm-to-fork cooking
• Michelin, Rosette or luxury hotel experience would be advantageous but is not essential

What's On Offer

• £30,000 - £40,000 package inclusive of gratuities
• Equal share of tronc (circa £7,800 per annum)
• Private healthcare cover
• Enhanced holiday allowance
• Life assurance from day one
