Junior Sous Chef, Cin Cin

Looking for your next exciting move as Sous Chef?

Cin Cin is an independent Italian food & drink brand founded in Brighton by David Toscano with Jamie Halsall. Our award-winning neighbourhood restaurants serve modern Italian dishes focusing on handmade pastas and Italian secondi using seasonal British ingredients. We are obsessed with quality and consistency for our food and service.

What can we offer you?

As Junior Sous Chef you will be part of the team at our busy London restaurant and work side by side with our founders David & Jamie. Working directly with Head Chef, James, you will be on a direct promotion path to Senior Sous.

You will learn our tight and regularly changing menu with seasonal small plates, fresh handmade pastas, Italian mains and desserts as well as house made bread, stocks, sauces etc so lots of variation and areas to make your mark on as Sous Chef.

You will train, mentor and develop our junior chefs to help them contribute to the menu and running of the kitchen. You will motivate the team with our Head Chef in a professional and positive way and in line with Cin Cin’s brand values and culture as created by our founders since 2016.

Who are we looking for?

You need a minimum of 3 years cooking experience at a high level in a busy kitchen and be willing to learn new skills. Experience with Italian food and cooking would be beneficial, but not essential. Most importantly we are looking for someone with a real passion for food, service and hospitality, and a love of cooking simply and seasonally.

You are extremely clean and well organised, motivated, friendly and approachable even under pressure. You want to grow with our business from joining as Sous Chef and be a long-term member of our team.

We are a small team committed to supporting, developing and progressing our staff and the brand. We are very hands on and we hire people we see potential in to trust them with responsibility and to grow.

As a neighbourhood style restaurant, our regulars are the backbone of our business so we know our customers and community well, and we want to reward their loyalty with an engaging and enjoyable dining experience.

If this sounds like you, then we want to hear from you – join us in London as Sous Chef!
