We're recruiting for immediate starts across Scotland, including Edinburgh, Perthshire, the Highlands and Aberdeenshire. Opportunities range from short-term cover to ongoing assignments and we're always happy to speak to solid kitchen professionals about permanent placements.
We want to speak to Chefs with a proven background in temp success, who know how to hit the ground running and improve kitchen standards from day one - drivers, with their own transport, especially.
Who We're Looking For
You will already be an established Sous Chef, or a strong chef operating comfortably at that level.
We're interested in chefs who are:
Reliable, professional and well-presented
Calm under pressure and organised during service
Strong communicators who work well with kitchen and front-of-house teams
Adaptable in new environments
Confident leading sections, services and junior staff
Committed to high standards of food safety, hygiene and workplace compliance
Fully up to date with relevant training and certification
Focused on improving standards, team morale and kitchen performance Technical ability matters, but attitude matters just as much.
The best temporary senior chefs understand that they're often stepping into a team that needs stability, leadership and support as much as another pair of hands.
What We Offer
Immediate starts available
Temporary and ongoing assignments across Scotland
Opportunities with respected hotels, restaurants and hospitality operators
Live-in accommodation available in many roles
Excellent rates of pay
Permanent opportunities for chefs seeking a long-term move Pay Rates
£19.75 per hour basic + holiday pay

£25.35 per hour for self-employed chefs (UTR or Limited Company) If you're a Sous Chef who takes pride in their work, adapts quickly and understands that leadership goes beyond what's on the pass, we'd love to hear from you.
