Chiswick R176
Full Time

You’re polite, proactive and passionate about food and people. Indeed, nothing gives you greater satisfaction than knowing that others are having a pleasurable dining experience because of your talents. Above all, you want to take a lead role in a highly energised team that works hard but has fun at the same time. In short, you’re ideal for the role of Sous Chef at our prestigious Virgin Active Classic club.

Part of one of the UK’s most prestigious group of companies, the luxurious Virgin Active Classic clubs are the ultimate choice for those who want the very best in lifestyle, service and fitness. Chiswick Riverside is no exception. A place that offers something for everyone, it has a total of 26 indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a gym floor with all the latest equipment, four swimming pools and a separate children’s pool. There’s also a Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, health & beauty spa and a club lounge as well as a fun-filled Club-V facility for our younger members.

And, right now, we’re looking for a talented Sous Chef like you to play a big part in the success of our club’s restaurant operations. It goes without saying that you will have already made your mark in a highly commercial restaurant business. Any local knowledge - i.e. the business / market opportunities – would also be useful. Above all, you set and expect the highest standards, are great at motivating others, able to consistently work to time constraints and have a real desire to drive positive change in a high-energy environment.

Whether working with the Restaurant Manager on the latest menu choices, working out stock requirements or creating yet another memorable dish, you’ll be the finest ambassador for Virgin Active Classic at all times. A minimum requirement will be a Level 2 certificate in Food & Hygiene, preferably a Level 3.

As well as working in luxury surroundings as part of a highly professional team, you’ll enjoy an enviable range of benefits. These include a good basic salary, flexible hours and generous Virgin Group discounts, including free health club membership for you and a friend.

This is a full time position working 40 hours per week. Flexibility is required to suit the needs of the business. Shifts will include ‘earlies’ and ‘lates’ across both weekdays and weekends on a rota basis.
