The Hero's Return is recruiting
Location: Battersea Power Station
Job Overview
We're looking for a talented and motivated Junior Sous Chef to join the opening team of an exciting new restaurant next to Battersea Power Station. Our menu celebrates the very best of British produce, showcasing seasonality, simplicity and the best suppliers London has to offer. Everything is done with a hands-on, from scratch approach, by a team that is passionate about quality and proud of every plate that leaves the pass. We are taking our ethos from executive Chef Jonathan Woolway, (formerly of St. JOHN), who has a wealth of experience in butchery and cooking and a lifetime of connections with the best British producers and purveyors and a genuine dedication for developing young and talented chefs.
This will be a busy kitchen, built on organisation, preparation and teamwork. We're creating an environment where chefs are supported, challenged and given every opportunity to progress and reach their potential.
