Junior Sous Chef, Natoora

ABOUT NATOORA

We are a fast-growing company with a clear mission: to revolutionise the food system. 

With hubs in London, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, New York and Los Angeles – as well as our own regenerative farm in Cornwall – we’re creating access to consciously-produced and grown food at a scale unparalleled by anyone else in the industry. Since 2004, we have been building a unique supply chain that connects chefs and home cooks alike to an ever-growing community of independent growers, farmers and producers.

From the way food is grown, reared and produced to how it gets into kitchens, we’re breaking down barriers built up by the industrial system and sparking a grassroots movement for a better future of food. This is your chance to be a part of it.

As Sous Chef – Production Kitchen, you’ll be a part of a dynamic, responsive team that is driving real change. You will have a key role in ensuring our Food to Go orders are ready on time and with care. You will report directly to the Head Chef.

Care is at the core of everything we do, from the way we design and prepare our food to the opportunities we create for our people. If you’re keen to learn, we’re here to share our knowledge. Over 95% of our managers are promoted from within – our aim is that you will follow in their footsteps, develop a passion for the work we do and thrive in our close community.
