Head Chef

Head Chef - 4 Star Hotel - Skipton, North Yorkshire

• £45,000 per annum salary, plus tips
• Full autonomy over menu development
• No split shifts, typical shift is 12pm until 9.30pm
• Free use of the on site leisure club including gym and sauna, free meal each shift and free parking
• Permanent, full time position contracted over 40 hours a week
• Looking for candidates who can start in January 

A four star hotel in North Yorkshire is looking for a Head Chef to take charge of its kitchen from January. The operation covers functions and banqueting alongside an à la carte offer of 70 to 80 covers a night, with Christmas parties and private events across the function side, so the position suits someone who has worked across both sides of a hotel kitchen.

Menu development sits with this role. The hotel has full autonomy over its own menus rather than working to a group template, they change regularly, and the Head Chef is expected to bring their own ideas and to cost and write the menus themselves. The brigade is six, made up of a Sous Chef, two Chefs de Partie and two breakfast chefs. The Head Chef reports directly to the General Manager and builds the rota around business needs.

This is a hands on position rather than an executive one, leading service from the front, with ownership of food safety and compliance across the kitchen.
