being a brilliant senior sous chef means motivating, supporting and leading your team and owning your kitchen! you will have the highest standards and be a champion for fresh and delicious dishes, making sure orders go out on-time and that every piece of paperwork is perfect.

you will ensure excellent communication with your head chef to develop a team that runs like clockwork and loves to learn. you’ll be a character and have character. whether you’re emphasising the importance of smashing targets or looking out for ways to improve and pass on your technical skills. it’s all about becoming a better leader by caring for your people and restaurants success.

you will already have managerial experience in a large, fast-paced kitchen,  even so, you’ll quickly find that wagamama is a pretty unique place! things at wagamama change every day, so you will embrace change and show your ambition by taking on extra responsibility to run the kitchen when the head chef isn’t there, after all......that’s where you aim to be one day!

so maybe you’ve never cooked japanese or asian food – not a problem. what’s important is your ability to lead a team under pressure to deliver the highest quality of cooking.............and the desire to develop a career as a seriously talented chef

working at wagamama is more than a job, it’s a career. as a senior sous chef we will offer you a fantastic training programme, brilliant salary + bonus, a share of staff tips, a free meal on every shift, amazing staff parties and loads of opportunities for growth and progression
