Are you a talented and experienced Sous Chef looking for the chance to help lead a fast-paced kitchen - all while still enjoying your evenings and weekends?
We've got an exciting opportunity for a passionate Sous Chef to join our Catering team at Morrisons Head Office in Bradford. This is a full-time permanent role, working 5 days over 7, typically Monday - Friday with a 3pm finish!

Our 600-seat colleague restaurant serves a wide variety of meals, from traditional favorites and healthy options to modern street food and seasonal specials.

- Play a key role in developing menus, mentoring junior chefs, and supporting a strong culture of food safety and professionalism.
