About the role

You will occasionally work as part of a small team of grill chefs, or as the sole grill chef on shift whereby you will have full control of the entire section. Your key duties will include the following:
- Cooking and preparing food to order from fresh in a fast paced kitchen environment
- Manning a flat grill, chargrill, deep fat fryer and oven
- Completing the necessary food preparation required for a busy service
- Following basic recipes
- Liaising with other Grill Chefs to ensure a smooth handover
- Maintaining an extremely clean and organised work area, both mid shift and the end of day clean down
- Maintaining an impeccable standard of food hygiene and safety - ensuring all due diligence and food hygiene standards are adhered to
- Partaking in regular area audits
- Occasionally assisting the servers in the plating of the food
- Performing daily stock takes and prep lists
What we’re looking for
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with lots of energy, who is able to handle a high pressure, fast paced kitchen environment. You must have a passion for good food and tidy presentation, as well as the ability to produce mouth-wateringly, perfectly grilled meats.

You should have the ability to work as part of a team whilst also using your own initiative. You MUST have experience working in a similar environment with a general knowledge of food safety and hygiene, holding the necessary food hygiene certificates, as well as experience working with a chargrill and fryers.
