Una Kitchen is looking for an experienced, creative and self-motivated chef to take ownership of our kitchen and help us bring back an exciting food offering.
This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who wants the freedom to shape a menu and make the kitchen their own. The offering could include pizzas from our wood-fired oven, Sunday roasts, seasonal specials and other ideas developed with the wider team.
You’ll take responsibility for the day-to-day food operation, including:
Developing a practical, appealing and commercially viable menu
Preparing and delivering consistently excellent food
Managing stock, ordering, food costs and waste
Maintaining high standards of food safety, hygiene and cleanliness
Helping establish efficient kitchen systems and ways of working
Working with the Una team to grow the food side of the business
We’re looking for someone dependable, commercially minded and comfortable taking initiative. This could suit an established chef seeking greater creative control or an ambitious chef ready to lead their own kitchen.
We’re open to discussing either of the following arrangements:
Competitive hourly rate: A straightforward employed role paid at £[insert hourly rate] per hour
Performance-led package: A lower guaranteed hourly rate combined with a generous, uncapped profit-share or revenue-share scheme. This option offers significant earning potential for someone excited about building a successful food operation.
We would be particularly interested in hearing from candidates who are open to discussing either—or both—of these approaches.
Immediate start
Rolling 28-day contract
Approximately five days per week
Working days and hours to be agreed
Pay structure tailored to the agreed arrangement
If you’re an enthusiastic chef who would enjoy taking real ownership of a kitchen, developing a strong food offering and sharing in its success, we’d love to hear from you.
Please apply with a brief introduction, details of your experience and any initial ideas you might have for Una Kitchen’s food offering.
