What you’ll do

We are looking for an experienced Chef de Cuisine to join the pre-opening team at SLS Barcelona. Under the guidance of the Executive Chef, you will:

• Bring delicious options to our guests’ tables by running a section in our busy kitchen.
• Nurture and develop the talent of the kitchen team, creating an environment that brings out the best in them and where they can be themselves.
• Make sure things are running without hitch, orders and deliveries are coming and going as needed, our service is smooth as chipotle butter, and our food hygiene standards are sky-high.
• Work with our Executive Chef on ideas and techniques that make our kitchen a creative, ever-changing environment where we’re always looking to make the best food out there.
• Ensure statutory compliance in all food and drink related areas.
• Pay attention to the details to ensure every dish served is as delicious as the one before!

What we are looking for...

• Previous experience working as part of a similar sized kitchen team.
• Passion for food is a given, a love for our particular flavors a definite advantage.
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You make people feel good - your team, guests and colleagues alike.
• Methodical and process-driven approach to tasks, but also able to work flexibly and calmly to meet deadlines.
• Ability to take ownership of important issues, solve problems and make effective decisions.
• Ability to work positively and collaboratively to achieve the highest standards of delivery at work.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get stuff done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way.

What's in it for you... 

• The opportunity to join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that’s committed to not just building new hotels but building a global brand. 

• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding. 

• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences and exploring new locations at every opportunity. 

• A competitive package and plenty of opportunity for development. 

• Excellent discounts across the entire Ennismore family of brands. 

SLS is part of Ennismore, a creative hospitality company rooted in culture and community, with a global collection of entrepreneurial and founder-built brands with purpose at their heart. Ennismore is a joint- venture with Accor, formed in 2021.
