It’s a role for someone who enjoys taking responsibility and bringing people together.

You’ll need to be organised, confident and comfortable making decisions. But just as importantly, you’ll need to know how to get the best out of your team.

After all, the best kitchens aren't built around one person. They’re built around a team that knows how to work together.
