The Role
Senior Sous Chef
Where You'll Be Working
The Ned and Ned’s Club are a global collection of hotels, clubs, spas, and restaurants for like-minded individuals to meet, work and have a good time.
The Ned launched in 2017 in the heart of the City, in the former Midland Bank headquarters. The Ned City of London houses Ned’s Club - a private members’ space, gym and rooftop - alongside a public spa, a full floor of events spaces, ten restaurants and bars and 250 hotel bedrooms.
At The Ned, we have restaurants in almost every cuisine, from pan-Asian to American diner, and Italian to fine dining.
What’s the Role?
As the second in command in the kitchen leadership team, reporting into your Head Chef you will:
- Be working with the Head Chef to lead the team in the production of our food, compiling the daily mise-en-place, and ensuring that all food is cooked and presented to our exceptional Ned standards
- Lead our kitchen operations whenever the Head Chef is not on duty, deputising and handling the day-to-day
- Support with all people leadership tasks - including team recruitment, development and performance chats, onboarding new starters - this is a great role for an aspiring Head Chef who wants to build their people management skillset
- Be a guardian of food quality and presentation, monitoring all food leaving your kitchen and providing coaching and feedback to the team where needed
- Create and monitor a safe and clean kitchen environment, protecting our guests and team from any possible harm
- Protect our excellent food safety ratings and audit standards by always keeping a close eye on procedures and practices, keeping impeccable records, and implementing action plans where necessary
- A mainstay of our kitchen team, you’ll be preparing all meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables
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.
What You Can Bring to the Role
- Previous kitchen leadership experience with a proven track record of delivering outstanding food and people management
- Our customers and guests expect the best, so high standards are essential
- An organised and detailed manner is necessary, as impeccable record keeping is needed to maintain records for our safety and audit standards
- A commercial mindset is needed in all our leaders. As second in command you will support your head chef in delivering excellent financial performance and results
- Creative flare is always welcome - our menus change seasonally, and you may be offered the opportunity to support with food design and creation
- Our kitchens can be high pressure so a calm demeanour and a genuine passion for providing guests with exceptional food is essential
- Ideally the person in this role would be preparing to be our next Head Chef, so a desire to learn and progress is preferred, but not essential
