The Spice Circuit Kitchen

Job Opportunity: Assistant Chef at The Spice Circuit Kitchen

The Spice Circuit Kitchen is an award-winning takeaway and dine-in establishment in Hove, offering high-quality meals prepared to exceptional standards. In just six months, we have been recognised as one of Brighton's Best Restaurants.

In addition to takeaways and a cosy dining area with four tables, we host pop-ups, events, supper clubs, kitchen table tasting menus, and many other engaging food experiences. This role is perfect for someone eager to learn and grow in the culinary industry.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a skilled Assistant Chef to help prepare delicious meals in our kitchen. The ideal candidate will have a passion for food and cooking, ensuring that our high standards are consistently met. The position involves both cooking and service, as we take orders and serve customers ourselves in our intimate 10-seat setting, creating a manageable and enjoyable environment.

Key Details:

- Hours: 25-30 hours per week, with opportunities for additional shifts during events and supper clubs. All shifts are straight and in the evening, leaving your mornings free. We are closed on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays, but there will be one Sunday supper club each month that we will need you to work.

- Experience: A minimum of 2 years of kitchen experience is required. Experience in an Indian/Asian kitchen is a plus, but not necessary.

Ideal Candidate:

We are looking for someone friendly, reliable, and passionate about learning and growing in the culinary field. Punctuality and maintaining a clean kitchen to high standards are essential. Additionally, the candidate should be comfortable interacting with customers, taking orders, and running the kitchen independently when the head chef is away. The Menu is small and changes every month.

Responsibilities:

- Assist in food preparation and cooking tasks to ensure timely meal service.

- Maintain cleanliness and organisation in the kitchen and food storage areas.

- Adhere to food safety standards and guidelines to ensure a safe cooking environment.

- Collaborate with kitchen staff in meal preparation and assist in menu planning.

- Take full responsibility for the kitchen when the Head Chef is absent, ensuring smooth operation and quality standards.

- Manage daily paperwork within the kitchen.
