About THE NICI Collection
THE NICI Collection is a luxury lifestyle hotel group inspired by some of the world's most iconic destinations, bringing exceptional hospitality, outstanding food and drink, and unforgettable guest experiences to some of the UK's most desirable locations.
What began with THE NICI Bournemouth, our flagship hotel inspired by Miami's South Beach, has grown into an exciting collection of destination-led properties. In June 2026, the collection expanded with the opening of THE NICI Newquay, inspired by Italy's Amalfi Coast, and THE NICI New Forest, inspired by the luxury and charm of the Hamptons.
This marks an exciting new chapter for THE NICI Collection — and it's only the beginning. As we continue to grow, we are looking for passionate chefs who want to be part of an ambitious and expanding luxury hospitality brand.
The Role
We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic Demi Pastry Chef to join our pastry team, supporting the delivery of exceptional desserts, pastries, breads, and afternoon tea offerings across our luxury hotel.
