A well-established, independent country hotel in a picturesque village in the North Yorkshire Dales is seeking a skilled Relief Single-Handed Chef to provide cover on an ongoing basis. This role starts as soon as possible and days off will be Tuesday and Wednesday. Whilst this client offers accommodation, you will need to drive, due to the remote location of the site and there is a requirement to go home on your days off.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced and adaptable chef who thrives in a standalone kitchen environment and enjoys working with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
The Role:
- Running a kitchen independently
- Preparing and delivering high-quality, home-cooked dishes
- Managing stock, ordering, and kitchen organisation
- Maintaining excellent hygiene and food safety standards
- Catering for both residents and walk-in guests
- Whilst the kitchen does have a KP for busy shifts, you will need to be prepared to wash up and clean down at times
Requirements:
- Proven experience as a single-handed or head chef
- Ability to work confidently without supervision
- Strong organisational and time-management skills
- Flexible and reliable with a professional attitude
- Food hygiene certification (Level 2 minimum)
Details:
- Temporary/relief position (immediate start available). Our client is looking for someone to commit to the summer season, however the role is ongoing.
- A rate of £20 per hour, plus a contribution towards travel.
- Accommodation is available on site.
- Stunning rural location – ideal for those who enjoy countryside settings
If you’re a capable chef who enjoys autonomy and delivering quality food in a relaxed but professional setting, we’d love to hear from you.
