Join Forbici Tooley Street, London
A New Era of Pizza
Are you a passionate kitchen leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment? Ready to take the next step in your career and help shape a brand-new opening?
We're bringing Forbici to Tooley Street, London, and we're looking for a Deputy Kitchen Lead to help drive standards, support the team, and deliver exceptional food every day.
At Forbici, biga fermentation sits at the heart of what we do. Time, discipline, and attention to detail shape every dough we make and every pizza we serve. Inspired by Naples, driven by craft, and shaped by the cities we call home, this is pizza done properly.
Our people make Forbici, and we're proud to be recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work in 2024, 2025 & 2026, reflecting the culture we're building and the talented teams behind it.
As a Deputy Kitchen Lead, you'll:
- Work closely with the Kitchen Lead to ensure outstanding food quality, exceptional standards, and a motivated, high-performing kitchen team.
- Lead by example, support the development of your colleagues, and play a key role in delivering a successful service, every shift.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As a Deputy Kitchen Lead, You Will
- Support the day-to-day management of the kitchen and lead services in the Kitchen Lead's absence
- Coach, motivate, and develop kitchen team members to achieve their potential
- Ensure food quality, consistency, and presentation standards are delivered at all times
- Drive compliance with food safety, health & safety, and company procedures

- Work collaboratively with the wider management team to deliver an exceptional guest experience
