Sous Chef

Sous Chef - How we'll support you

At Dishoom, we care about supporting you and your well being (inside and outside of work). With this, we tend to think about our team's well being in four different ways:

Financial

• Free weekly wage advances and emergency cash.
• Access to our savings support & financial health planning tool.
• £100 monthly to spend when dining in Dishoom each month. Post this £100, 50% during the day, and 25% in the evening for you and up to 5 people.

Mental & Physical

• All Babus (Managers) are fully trained in mental health support & First Aid.
• Dedicated support from our confidential advice helpline - available to you or someone in your household - 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.
• Healthcare cash plan.
• Free fitness sessions every month (including yoga and spin classes). Plus, discounted memberships with leading gyms and studios.
• Calling all sports fans, we have our very own Dishoom Premier League (an in house cricket tournament) where you get to compete with your team at Lord's, and an annual Dishoom Football league that runs across our cafés and Permit Room teams.

Social

• Family Mela (Family summer festival)
• Huge Christmas celebration
• Team members who work at Dishoom for 5 years are invited to attend Bombay Bootcamp - an incredible once-in-a-lifetime guided tour of Bombay with our co founders (over 200 people attended last year)!

We're a growing company and love nothing more than bringing our teams (and families) together to celebrate everyone's hard work across the year. Plus, we host regular team events across our cafés.

What to expect

• Competitive salary per year inclusive of tronc. We pay on a monthly basis.
• A full-time role working across 5 days, Monday - Sunday availability required.
• We're an all day dining Café, meaning our teams work a variety of daytime and evening shifts (not the usual always late nights!)
• Access to our award winning training programmes and support. We focus on your development from day one and proudly promoted 326 Dishoomwalles last year!
• The usual number of days holiday a year - paid for, including tronc. Our sites are closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and if you have children, we'll provide one extra day to take them to their first day at school.
• We'll provide the Chef whites!

So, what are we looking for?

• You love to cook and learn new skills; eager to immerse yourself into our Bombay food and culture.
• You've worked in a busy environment for the past few years and want to find an opportunity that demands your first class ability.
• You're a growing leader and your willingness to learn more and develop is what will set you apart.
• You are ready to be the Head Chef's right arm; supporting all aspects of the kitchen operation to ensure food quality and delivery exceeds our guests' expectation.
• You have a growing stock knowledge and have had exposure to some systems, but intrigued to learn new ones and ways of working.
• You are a real team player, always looking out for your team and leading by example.
• You want to be part of a company that can help you thrive and grow, but above all, enable you to achieve what's important to you and your happiness.

At Dishoom - everyone is welcome. We are committed to having an inclusive and diverse workplace and strongly encourage people from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to apply for roles with us.
