Chef de Partie
Bermondsey Street, London
Full time, 5 days per week
£14.00 per hour + share of service charge
Good fortune doesn't come to those who wait, but to those who explore. The Last Talisman is Bermondsey Street's home of expertly crafted cocktails and a sizzling Asian grill — mouth-watering small plates, bold flavours and beautifully designed spaces, right in the heart of one of London's best-loved food streets.
Our brand-new Head Chef is building a team from the ground up, and we're looking for a Chef de Partie who wants to be part of it from day one. This is a genuine opportunity for someone hungry to progress — a strong pair of hands on the pass who is eager to learn, sharpen their craft, and grow into a Sous Chef role as the team and the venue develop together.
If you're competitive, driven, and want your next move to be somewhere you can actually make your mark, we'd love to hear from you.
THE ROLE
As Chef de Partie, you'll run your section with pace, precision and pride, working closely with our new Head Chef to help shape the kitchen's standards from the very beginning. This isn't a role where you'll be left to stand still — you'll be coached, challenged and given real responsibility, with a clear path towards a Sous Chef position for the right person.
