Kitchen Manager (Sous Chef level) - Holiday Inn Aylesbury £17.31 per hour, paid for every hour you work, on a 40-hour week contract. The role As our Kitchen Manager, you'll be our Head Chef's right hand. You'll share the day-to-day running of the kitchen and lead it when they're not there. Our kitchen serves breakfast, the restaurant, the bar, 24-hour room service, and meetings and events for up to 120 guests. Every service gives you the chance to lead from the front and grow a team. You'll be: Leading from the pass: running service across all outlets and keeping quality consistent on every plate. Developing the team: organising prep, coaching junior chefs and building a brigade people want to stay in. Running the operation: handling ordering, stock control, rotas, GP and waste. Keeping standards high: managing food safety, allergens, health and safety, and hygiene so we're always audit-ready. Taking charge: leading the kitchen in the Head Chef's absence. What you'll bring: Experience as a Sous Chef, or as a strong Junior Sous or Senior Chef de Partie ready for the next step. Hotel, banqueting or high-volume kitchen experience. A calm, organised approach under pressure, and a genuine interest in developing others. Good knowledge of food safety and allergen management. You'll need Level 3 Food Safety, or be willing to achieve it. Confidence with stock, ordering and cost control, or an eagerness to learn. Working hours This is a permanent, full-time role on a 40-hour week. Most kitchens ask their Sous Chefs for 45 or 50 hours on a flat salary. We pay you for every hour you work, so the longer shifts are paid for and the rest of your time is your own. The rota covers early and late shifts, weekends and bank holidays, in line with the needs of the hotel. Career growth Valor is growing across the UK and internationally, and every new hotel needs a strong kitchen leader. Working alongside our Head Chef, you'll build the skills and experience to step up to your own kitchen. We'll support your development every step of the way. About the hotel Holiday Inn Aylesbury is a 139-bedroom, 4-star hotel in a semi-rural setting near the Chiltern Hills, just off the A41.
