Faro - Sous Chef

Full-time
Berriedale

Mona, the Museum of Old and New Art is many things. Exploratory. Overwhelming. Interesting. Puzzling. An enigma.

We also take our food pretty seriously. We focus on high-quality local produce, contemporary, and (mostly) uncomplicated cuisines that consistently exceed the expectations of our guests across a multitude of venues. With this in mind, we are in need of an exceptional and experienced Sous Chef to join our Faro kitchen team in Berriedale. 

In this venue, there is a particular focus on diverse and multicultural cuisines, which generally align with the exhibition and museum program. To deliver this role - a wide knowledge base, creativity and adaptability are integral, as you will be assisting the Faro team in designing and delivering a wide range of food experiences.

You will work with regularly changing menus that highlight fresh, local produce while demonstrating leadership and delivering an outstanding dining experience for all our guests, so experience in working with high quality produce is ideal. You'll also be looking to continually improve your knowledge and try new things, whilst mentoring the team around you.

If you enjoy working in a fast-paced, creative, and unique work environment that demands precision, we'd love to hear from you.
