Galway, Galway, Ireland TOPCHEFS Full time
Senior Sous Chef - Co. Mayo

Ready for a career move that's also a life upgrade? Tired of the city grind and the endless search for housing?

TOPCHEFS is proud to partner with a premier boutique hotel located in the heart of one of County Mayo's most vibrant and picturesque coastal towns. We are looking for a talented and ambitious culinary leader to join their stable, professional team. To make this incredible opportunity a reality for the right candidate, our client is offering FREE ACCOMMODATION for your first 6 months to help you settle into your new life on the Wild Atlantic Way.

The Hotel

Our client is a cornerstone of hospitality in the region. With a fantastic central location in a bustling town, multiple dining outlets, and a reputation for quality and service, it\'s a business built on stability and a passion for looking after its guests and its staff. This is a secure, resilient business with a very low staff turnover—a true rarity in today\'s market.

The Role

As the new Head of Kitchen / Senior Sous Chef, you will be the hands-on leader of the culinary brigade. Reporting to and working in partnership with the hotel's highly respected, long-serving Executive Chef, you will be responsible for:

  • Leading the team during service, running the pass, and ensuring a smooth, efficient operation.
  • Training, mentoring, and developing the junior chefs in the brigade.
  • Maintaining the highest standards of food quality, presentation, and kitchen hygiene.
  • Contributing your creativity to menu development with a focus on fantastic local Mayo produce.

This is a role for a chef who loves being in the heat of the kitchen, leading from the front, and inspiring a team to create exceptional food.

Who We're Looking For

We\'re looking for a skilled culinary professional, likely a seasoned Sous Chef ready for a significant step up, or an existing Head Chef from a smaller operation looking for a new challenge. The ideal candidate is:

  • A calm, confident, and professional leader. You guide and teach, you don\'t shout.
  • A team player who can respect and integrate into an established, loyal brigade.
  • Someone with a strong background in quality hotel or brasserie dining.
  • A low-ego, high-skill individual who is keen to learn from a veteran Executive Chef while running the daily operations.
What\'s on Offer
  • A competitive base salary of €50,000 per annum.
  • FREE accommodation provided for your first 6 months.
  • A key leadership role in one of Co. Mayo\'s most respected and stable hotels.
  • A genuine opportunity for long-term career growth.
  • The chance to live and work in one of Ireland's most celebrated coastal towns.

If you are a talented chef ready for a genuine career and life upgrade, we want to hear from you. Apply today with your updated CV for a confidential discussion.
