About the Hotel
A lifestyle Hotel based on London's eccentric South Bank. With over 354 bedrooms, award-winning food and drink outlets and an electric energy, Sea Containers London is a destination where glamour meets brutalism - and it's your London anchor on the River Thames.
We're excited to announce the opening of Gordon Ramsay at Sea Containers, a new dining destination created in partnership with Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Global, opening this autumn 2026.
About the Restaurant
Set directly on the River Thames in the heart of London's South Bank, Gordon Ramsay at Sea Containers will bring together elevated British dining, exceptional hospitality and panoramic river views. Open from breakfast through to dinner, the restaurant will celebrate the very best of British produce, from exceptional seafood and shellfish to Gordon Ramsay classics, alongside an expansive outdoor riverside terrace.
The Role
This is a unique opportunity to join the team at an exciting moment and play a key role in bringing this new restaurant to life from the very beginning.
As Sous Chef, you'll work closely with the Head Chef and wider culinary leadership team to deliver consistently high standards across the kitchen. The Sous Chef will be responsible for supporting the day-to-day operation, maintaining exceptional food quality and presentation, and helping to lead, develop and inspire the kitchen brigade.
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

The Sous Chef plays an important role in guiding the team through the transition to the new Gordon Ramsay restaurant, helping to establish the standards, culture and ways of working required for a successful launch.
What You'll Be Doing
- Support the Head Chef in the smooth and efficient running of the kitchen.
- Lead and motivate the kitchen brigade during service.
- Maintain consistently high standards of food quality, preparation, presentation and hygiene.
- Support menu development and implementation, with a strong focus on seasonality and quality ingredients.
