Job Description

We are looking for an authentic, passionate and driven Part-Time Commis Chef to join our Kitchen team at Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel & Spa.

As Glasgow’s only 5-star City Centre Hotel, Kimpton Blythswood Square is all about combining luxury with personality. From our Spa to sustainably sourced Scottish seafood in Iasg, our teams work together to deliver exceptional experiences without ever losing the warmth, individuality and character that makes Kimpton different.

As a Commis Chef, you’ll be 100% you, bringing your authentic personality to everything you do; be the ultimate host, confidently leading yourself and making creative decisions that elevate every interaction; and spark joy, using every tool available to craft meaningful and memorable experiences.

We can offer either a 16-hour contract over 2 days per week or a 24-hour contract over 3 days per week – giving you the flexibility to find a working pattern that suits you.

Hospitality is all about being there when our guests need us, and no two days are quite the same! Our shifts are worked across a 7-day operation, so we’re looking for someone who’s flexible, enjoys a varied working week and is ready to bring their energy and enthusiasm to the team, whatever the day.

At Kimpton, we believe great hospitality starts with great people. We want you to bring your whole self to work, be part of a team that genuinely cares about what they do and help us create memorable experiences and heartfelt human connections for every guest.

What you’ll be doing

As a Commis Chef, you’ll be an important part of our Kitchen brigade, supporting our Chef de Parties and wider team to deliver consistently high-quality food across the hotel.

You’ll get involved in preparing ingredients and dishes for service, maintaining excellent kitchen and food safety standards, and learning from an experienced team who will support you to develop your skills and grow your career.

• Has a genuine passion for food and hospitality, ideally with previous experience within a professional kitchen as a Commis Chef, Chef or Apprentice Chef.
• Is keen to learn, develop and build a career in the kitchen.
• Take pride in their work and understands that consistency and attention to detail are key in a 5-star environment.
• Is a great team player who believes in working better together and supporting those around them.
• Brings a positive, can-do attitude and is happy to take ownership and do the right thing.
• Has a warm and authentic personality, we want you to bring the real you to work.

If you’re passionate about food, keen to learn and looking for an opportunity to develop within a supportive 5-star Kitchen team, we’d love to hear from you.
