DescriptionJOB DESCRIPTION:
If you are the sort of chef who enjoys sourcing seafood right off the coastline in front of your eyes, buying herbs, veggies, and edible flowers from the Raasay Walled Garden outside your kitchen door, or building relationships to get the best wild venison from your doorstep then Raasay is your ingredient heaven!
We are currently looking for a Chef de Partie (CDP) to join our team who has demonstrated an ability to work a busy service. You would be working within a team of five skilled chefs to provide stunning food in a happy, cohesive environment.
Our hotel has 24 rooms of varying sizes, which means we have up to 70 guests staying with us each night. Typical covers in our restaurant range from 80-100 at dinner service during the summer months and 30-50 covers at lunchtime. This role will also include preparing dinner for up to 30 staff. We focus on Scottish food using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.
WAGE:
This is a seasonal position offering an hourly rate of £12.60 - £14 per hour wage, depending on experience, plus tips.
DURATION OF EMPLOYMENT & LIFESTYLE BENEFITS:
Our business is seasonal and we work very hard in the 8-month season that we are open. A typical work week is anywhere from 40-48 hours, spread over five or six days. We close all Sundays. All employees get a 30-minute unpaid break on shifts that last for more than 6 hours. We also offer paid leave calculated at 12.07%, equivalent to 28 days annually.
Raasay is a very small island, so we offer subsidised accommodation as part of our staffing package. You can stay in a room in the staff house in Inverarish village (about 20 minutes' walk from the hotel) or a single wooden cabin on site if you prefer (1 minute walk from the hotel). All staff meals are included every day, whether you are working or not.
Other benefits include free outdoor activity sessions, wildlife boat trips, free bike hire, and discounts throughout the hotel for you and your friends and family.
Please note that all candidates must be able to demonstrate that they are legally allowed to work in the UK.
