Senior Sous Chef – Birmingham – Elegant Independent Restaurant

One of Birmingham’s most respected kitchens is searching for its next Senior Sous Chef.

 

Please note: We are unable to offer sponsorship for this role and candidates must have the right to work in the UK without visa sponsorship. If you require Sponsorship please do not apply, thank you.

 

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior position at a critically acclaimed, independently owned restaurant known for its refined take on modern British seafood.

 

Set in a fantastic part of the city, this sleek and sophisticated dining room has earned a loyal following for its confident cooking, polished service, and consistently high standards.

 

Benefits:

 

  • A competitive salary and generous tips package
  • A beautiful, well-equipped kitchen in a high-profile, high-performing restaurant
  • Support from a respected leadership team with Michelin experience
  • Real opportunities for career development and progression
  • A restaurant that respects work-life balance, with a supportive and positive culture

 

Behind the scenes, the kitchen runs with the discipline of a Michelin-starred brigade, but with the warmth and camaraderie of a close-knit team.

 

Precision, passion and pride are the hallmarks here — every plate that leaves the pass reflects a deep respect for produce and a meticulous eye for detail.

 

You will have experience at Sous Chef or Senior Sous Chef level in a quality-focused kitchen and possess a sharp palate, steady hands, and a calm, organised approach.

 

As Senior Sous Chef you will:

 

  • Play a key leadership role in the day-to-day running of the kitchen, working closely with the Head Chef
  • Lead and inspire the brigade through busy services
  • Uphold and elevate the restaurant’s exacting standards
  • Contribute to menu development and seasonal changes
  • Mentor and support junior chefs as they grow
  • Ensure consistency, cleanliness, and calm

 

You’ll be working with exceptional ingredients — line-caught fish, day-boat shellfish, and the best British veg and dairy — treated with the respect they deserve and presented with real finesse.

 

If you’re an ambitious chef looking to make your mark in one of the most exciting kitchens in the city — without sacrificing quality of life — we’d love to hear from you.

 

Due to the number of applicants received, unfortunately we are unable to reply individually to each. Should your application be suitable for the role, then you’ll hear from us within 48 hours, thank you.
