Profile

We are seeking a passionate cook to join our busy delicatessen kitchen and work alongside the Head Chef. Finns of Chelsea is a long-established gourmet food shop and catering business, based in a prime position on the increasingly lively and foodie Chelsea Green; we would welcome someone aspiring to bring their own ideas to a small business, as we focus on building our external catering.

• Full-time, permanent position. 
• Monday - Friday, 7.30 am - 4.30 pm/9.30 am - 6.30 pm.
• One Saturday per month, 8.00 am - 4.00 pm. 
• External evening and weekend events paid in addition.

The ideal candidate will have a professional cooking qualification, and good experience within a commercial kitchen and/or fast paced catering environment is preferred. You must be a quick-learner, hard-worker and flexible to complement our existing small team. The main ingredient we are looking for is a keen cook interested in seasonal food, who is naturally organised and has a friendly, confident, and professional disposition.

Whilst predominantly in the kitchen, you will also be expected to spend time serving in the shop forming relationships with customers; learning the tills as well as how to make a famous Finns coffee; answering the telephone; taking orders and meeting and helping clients plan their parties.

To apply, please respond to this advertisement with your CV and covering letter. Successful applicants will be invited for an interview and kitchen trial thereafter.
