Sous Chef / Senior Chef de Partie
No Late Nights | Better Work-Life Balance | Godalming, Surrey
Looking for a role where you can still cook great food - but without the late nights, split shifts and constant pressure?
At Birchgrove, we’re doing things differently.
This is a Sous Chef / Senior Chef de Partie role within a calm, well-structured kitchen, where you can focus on quality, consistency and building relationships - rather than chasing back-to-back services.
Why this role is different
No late nights
Consistent shifts and better work-life balance
Cooking fresh, seasonal food from scratch
A calm, organised kitchen environment
Time to focus on quality - not just speed
You’ll still be hands-on, leading, cooking and maintaining high standards - but within a setting that feels more structured, supportive and purposeful.
About Birchgrove
At Birchgrove, we create vibrant communities for people over 65, where food plays a huge part in daily life.
You’re not cooking for covers - you’re cooking for residents. That means building relationships, understanding preferences, and creating meals that genuinely matter.
Pepperpot House in Godalming is a beautiful, modern neighbourhood set in the heart of the Surrey Hills.
What you’ll be doing
Supporting the Head Chef in delivering high-quality, fresh meals
Preparing and cooking dishes from scratch
Helping shape seasonal menus and specials
Maintaining high standards in food safety and hygiene
Supporting stock control, waste reduction and kitchen organisation
Leading the kitchen when required
What we’re looking for
Experience as a Sous Chef or strong Senior Chef de Partie
Passion for fresh, seasonal food
Calm, organised and reliable under pressure
A team player who supports others
Someone who enjoys being part of a community
Why join Birchgrove
A genuinely supportive, people-first culture
The chance to cook with purpose and make a difference
Real opportunity for development and progression
A stable, well-run kitchen environment
Free meals on shift
Healthcare cashback scheme
Electric car scheme
If you’re looking for a role where you can step away from the usual hospitality pressures, but still take pride in great food and a well-run kitchen, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to drop in for a coffee and a chat if you are interested.
