Location: One of the most elegant country house hotels in the Cotswolds, Buckland Manor is set in ten acres of stunning grounds. With 4 AA red stars, 3 AA rosettes, and a member of Relais & Châteaux, Buckland Manor offers employees the opportunity to work within a traditional, yet friendly English country house hotel.

SERVICE CHARGE - We pay our team service charge each month! This service charge all goes into one pot, and 100% of that service charge is then shared amongst all the team at the hotel - every penny received is paid out to the team.
Service charge can be in the region of £305 a month (around £3,600 per year) over and above base pay, for a full-time employee.

The hotel may be able to offer on-site staff accommodation in order to help the newest members of the team settle into life at the hotel and local area, plus free parking is available on-site.

Come and join our team as a Junior Sous Chef and let your passion and personality shine.

Our culture is important to us, and we encourage everyone in our teams to show thoughtfulness towards each other and our guests.

As a Junior Sous Chef, you will be working with the Head Chef & Sous Chef to run a busy kitchen. You will be creating exciting and delicious dishes to be served to our guests.

• As a senior member of the kitchen team, you’ll be responsible for managing the kitchen in the absence of the Head Chef and Sous Chef.

Work/life balance is important to us all, so we will always try to be fair with our rotas. We just ask that you can be flexible with us, so we can be flexible with you in return.

As part of our team, we welcome your passion, natural warmth, and humour to ensure our guests have an amazing experience every time. We’re seeking friendly, warm, and cheerful individuals who are happy to work together as a team and, importantly, want to have fun.
