## Description

We're looking for a passionate Chef de Partie to join the opening team at Yarrow, our brand new restaurant in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.

Yarrow is a fresh dining destination, open to both the public and our retirement village residents, serving high-quality, seasonal dishes in a welcoming environment. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new kitchen from day one, working alongside an experienced team committed to delivering exceptional food and service.

This is a 24 hour per week position, with the opportunity to pick up additional hours as the business grows.

One of the biggest benefits of joining Yarrow is the excellent work-life balance. Unlike many hospitality roles, our opening hours mean you can enjoy a more sociable schedule while still working in a high-quality, fresh food environment.

### What you'll be doing

-   Preparing, cooking and presenting dishes to a consistently high standard.
-   Taking ownership of your section and ensuring smooth service throughout each shift.
-   Supporting the Head Chef and Sous Chef in the day-to-day running of the kitchen.
-   Maintaining the highest standards of food hygiene, safety and cleanliness.
-   Assisting with stock rotation and minimising waste.
-   Working collaboratively with the wider kitchen team to deliver an outstanding dining experience.

### What we're looking for

-   Previous experience as a Chef de Partie or an experienced Commis Chef ready to take the next step.
-   A passion for fresh, quality food and excellent presentation.
-   A positive, proactive attitude and the ability to work well under pressure.
-   Strong understanding of food safety and kitchen hygiene standards.
-   Flexibility to work a rota that includes some evenings and weekends.

### What we offer

-   Competitive salary plus Tronc payments.
-   Opportunity to pick up additional hours.
-   A great work-life balance with more sociable opening hours than many hospitality venues.
-   Medicash healthcare plan.
-   Pension scheme.
-   25 days annual leave (pro rata), plus birthday leave.
-   Reward and recognition schemes.
-   Paid volunteering days.
-   Ongoing training and development opportunities.
-   The chance to be part of an exciting new restaurant from the very beginning.
