Relocation Opportunity - Head Chef - Luxury Lifestyle-Led Hotel Resort - Beautiful 5* Estate & Spa - Circa £50k + Fully Expensed Accommodation - South Wales Escape The Rat race.. A high flying Head Chef wanted for very well known, established, high end property working to 1 Rosette in lush, rural, coastal South Wales location. I visited the clients site last week - the property is stunning, the views second to none & the lifestyle perfect for someone looking to escape the rat race. This is going to be a brilliant role for someone. The Head Chef salary is negotiable around £50k+ very high quality single person long term accommodation which is fully expensed, so no bills. We estimate that the accommodation element on its own is worth at least £1500 per month. This role is NOT the norm . The plan is to attract a level of Head Chef talent to this role that aligns perfectly with the Directors ethos, someone that can elevate the current service offering above 1 Rosette & can be central to the strategy for the business for the long term. You will be working in lockstep with a group of highly successful entrepreneurs who are well financed & bring a sense of calm, consistent decision making & a proven commercial acumen. Our client is looking for a professional, diligent & skilled Head Chef with experience of leading similar high quality teams ideally at premium or fine dining end of the market - to at least 1-2 rosettes or equivalent. The Directors are keen to hire a successful & proven creative Head Chef who also has a stable, proven track record over the long term. This will be a hands-on Head Chef role - leading a team from the front & would suit someone who wants to break free from their current company constraints & shoot the lights out with their next move. You will have autonomy and the space to spread your wings. The F & B numbers here are good but there is more to do & so this role would suit someone who thrives in volume environments where there are lots of moving parts. The client is looking to lock someone in for the long term with this appointment. The client is open to candidates from high quality Restaurant / Gastro Pub / Hotel / Hotel Resort restaurant backgrounds but you must have been working at Head Chef level for a minimum of 2-3 years. This is a Head Chef role that isn't going to be for everyone. It's aimed at a Head Chef who is growing tired of the thankless corporate contingency and all of the daily tick box exercises and the paperwork that goes with it - or an Head Chef at that 'sweet spot' in their career who think their only two options are to either get a move managing a larger team & push for a group role within 6 - 12 months or set up on their own. It's for an Head Chef who knows that there is a lot more to running a large scale restaurant than just running shifts. It's for a passionate Head Chef who wants the term "my guests" to actually mean something. Perhaps most importantly it's for a Head Chef in companies who don't want to lose the fire in their belly simply because their current company has got nothing better to offer them. If this sounds like you - send your CV over & we'll have a look at it for you.. TPBN1_UKCT
