Contract Type: Permanent
Hourly Rate: £18.11 - £21.60
Step into one of London’s most iconic corporate headquarters, where hospitality is as diverse as the people it serves. At the campus, the dining experience spans fine dining, premium meeting rooms, client events, executive hospitality, and the upcoming Level 18 lounge bar and showcase spaces.
As Senior Sous Chef, you’ll be part of the leadership team driving excellence across every outlet -switching seamlessly between Michelin style plated dishes, high end events, refined buffets, delicate pastries, and day to day corporate hospitality.
This is a role for a chef who thrives on variety, leads with calm confidence, and delivers consistency at scale. It’s perfect for someone who takes pride in shaping memorable experiences, values diversity in both cuisine and culture, and enjoys being at the centre of a world class hospitality operation.

Support menu development, tasting sessions, and seasonal innovation
Manage ordering, stock control, gross profit targets, and waste reduction in line with ISS processes
Work collaboratively with front-of-house, client teams, and central ISS support functions
Deputise for the Executive Chef when required, ensuring smooth kitchen operations
About You
Experience in Michelin-starred, AA Rosette, 5-star hotel, or equivalent premium hospitality environments
Confident in leading teams and managing kitchen operations in the Executive Chef’s absence
Comfortable working across multiple styles of cookery throughout the day
Strong understanding of food safety, allergen management, and compliance documentation
Professional, calm, and solutions-focused under pressure
Strong work ethic, positive attitude, and willingness to learn and develop
Ability to thrive in a high-profile, fast-paced, and detail-driven environment
