Sous Chef

Both Senior Sous Chef & Sous Chef available depending on experience.

Free on-site car parking in Leith + right next to Port of Leith Tram Stop

Get paid for doing what you love, get loads of perks and benefits, learn something new and make a career for Life with Malmaison.

At Malmaison, forty percent of all revenue comes from catering sales. In many of our hotels, we can be busier in our Brasseries than most local restaurants! This gives our chef brigades a great opportunity to develop themselves within our kitchens, learning new skills, working in fast-paced environments under pressure, and sometimes with produce they haven't worked with before.

We offer on-the-job training in-house as well as working with our training provider to offer nationally recognized apprenticeships. If you want to progress your career, a Mal kitchen is the place to do it. Over 50% of our Head Chefs have been promoted from within, with 3 starting their journey as kitchen porters.

Working as Sous Chef in the kitchen, you will support the Head Chef by ensuring the team delivers the brand standards in a smooth and consistent manner. Ideally, you will have worked at this level before and be able to demonstrate your skills when developing the team beneath you.

Do you want to be part of something different, working with the best food, drink, and a brand you can be proud of?

We create memories that our guests never forget. This could be the next step for you into a Head Chef role – we actively encourage internal development and progression. Onwards and upwards!

• Heavily discounted Staff Room Rates at Malmaison, Hotel du Vin and Frasers Hospitality with rooms available from £65 per night.

• Referral schemes that pay up to £1500 (just for getting your mates jobs!).
• A decent uniform that doesn’t make you look like an extra from a 70s TV sitcom.
• We have a Wellness & National Campaign Days Calendar which promotes and encourages activities like – Pay Day Lunches/Treats, National Popcorn Day, Mental Health Awareness week and more.
• We work with Wagestream giving instant access to your pay as it’s earned.

• 100% of our electricity is generated using renewable energy with most of it coming from Wind Farms around the UK.
• We recycle a minimum of 70% of the waste from our hotels.
• We have moved to a chemical-free cleaning system in our bedrooms and public areas and an enzyme-based eco-friendly system for our kitchens.
