NAYA World Kitchen is looking for an experienced Sous Chef capable of helping lead a large, fast-moving world buffet kitchen.

This is a hands-on position. We need someone who can lead from the front, organise chefs, control timings and maintain excellent standards during high-volume service.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the Head Chef with the day-to-day running of the kitchen.

We want a strong kitchen leader who understands that organisation, timing, cleanliness and consistency are just as important as cooking ability.
