Job Description
*Job Role - Lead Chef*
Location: In The Wilde Cafe, Sutton Bank Visitor Centre, YO7 2EH
Contract: Full-time, permanent
Salary: £32,000 – £34,000 per year (OTE £34,000 - 36,000 inclusive of tips)
Hours: Daytime hours only - *no evening work*
*About the Role*
*In The Wilde* is our home inside the North York Moors National Park, sat at the top of Sutton Bank - the view James Herriot called the finest in England. We’re building a kitchen that tastes of where it is: Yorkshire growers, local producers, the seasons setting the menu.
We’re looking for a chef to lead it and to own the food. You’ll set the menu, build the dishes and run the kitchen, with the autonomy of a head chef and a group investing seriously behind you.
It’s daytime only, which means real cooking and proper standards without the late finishes.
You’ll be responsible for producing high-quality, seasonal dishes that showcase the best of our local suppliers, and delivering an exceptional, but simple food offer that enhances the visitor experience.
*Day to day you’ll:*
* *Lead menu planning, recipe development and how every plate looks when it lands*
* *Cook to a consistently high standard and hold the kitchen to it*
* *Run a clean, efficient, organised kitchen - ordering, stock, prep*
* *Be responsible for the hygiene standards in your kitchen*
* *Build genuine relationships with our local suppliers and growers*
* *Keep us watertight on food safety, hygiene and health & safety*
* *Bring on the junior team - train them, stretch them, make them better*
* *Work hand-in-glove with front of house so service feels effortless*
* *Champion seasonality and sustainability, workingto reduce waste significantly*
You’ll fit right in if you’re
* *An experienced chef who’s run a real kitchen and can prove it*
* *Genuinely creative about menus and build menus around what visitors actually want*
* *Confident across food safety and kitchen best practice*
* *Organised, calm and good with time when it’s busy*
* *A natural leader who can lift a small team rather than just direct it*
What you get
* *£32,000 – £34,000* salary
* *A share of the venue tips*
* *Daytime hours, no evenings* - a hospitality job you can have a life around
* *A kitchen you genuinely get to lead and shape*
* *High-quality, local, seasonal produce to work with*
* *40% staff, friends & family discount across the group*
* *Annual National Park parking pass*
* *And the small matter of one of the best settings in the country to come to work*
