About the Role

This permanent Senior Sous Chef position with Berkeley Scott sits within a four-star hotel in the City of Edinburgh, though the kitchen operates as a restaurant rather than a hotel service. Working forty hours weekly, the successful candidate earns £37,000 to £40,000 annually, plus tronc. Menus showcase modern Scottish cooking, built on local provenance and seasonal ingredients, with no banqueting or events involved. Considerable autonomy exists over menu planning; there is no central group menu, so each chef contributes their own dishes. Applicants should bring proven senior kitchen experience, strong leadership, and genuine creativity with Scottish produce.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Sous Chef to join a 4 star hotel in Edinburgh city centre. This is a restaurant based position rather than a hotel operation, working with modern Scottish food built around local provenance and seasonal produce.

The Senior Sous Chef will have considerable autonomy and input into menu planning. There is no group menu, the kitchen writes its own, and individual chefs have their own dishes on it. We are looking for a Senior Sous Chef who will bring fresh thinking to the food offering. This is a close knit kitchen and the team and culture are a real priority for the business.

The ideal Senior Sous Chef will have Sous or Senior Sous experience in a quality led restaurant or hotel. Most important is someone creative and proactive who wants to put their stamp on the menu and work collaboratively with the wider team.
