Job Description
Job Title: Commis Chef
Company: Crafted
Reporting to: Executive Chef
Location: Powdermills Hotel, Battle
Type: Full time
Overview
We’re not hiring people to fill a seat or add to our headcount. We’re hiring people to craft our culture, ethos and success. This is a big deal for us, and we know it’s a big deal for you: a new role defines how you spend your days, who you spend them with, and what your future looks like.
Together, we’ll shape each other’s entire trajectory. That deserves thoughtfulness, empathy and respect. It’s why this job description is deliberately detailed. We want you to know exactly what you’re stepping into. The challenges, the opportunities, the quirks of the role, and the kind of impact you’ll have.
You
Crafted’s culture will be inclusive and agile but with ambitious goals and a start-up mentality. We need to execute brilliantly from day one and every team member will contribute wherever they are able.
As a Commis Chef, you will support the kitchen brigade in preparing high-quality dishes in accordance with the restaurant’s standards. This is an entry-level position ideal for someone looking to start their culinary career. You’ll be trained and guided by senior chefs while gaining hands-on experience across all sections of the kitchen.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist in the preparation, cooking, and presentation of food as directed by the senior chefs.
- Maintain high standards of hygiene, cleanliness, and safety in the kitchen.
- Measure and mix ingredients according to recipes or personal judgment, using various kitchen tools and equipment.
- Assist in receiving and storing food deliveries.
- Clean and organize food preparation areas, refrigerators, and equipment.
- Work across different sections of the kitchen as needed (e.g., starters, main courses, pastry).
- Ensure consistent quality and portion control.
- Follow all food safety and health regulations.
- Take direction well and be proactive in learning new skills and recipes.
We’re looking for someone with
- A genuine passion for food and cooking.
- Ability to work well in a team under pressure.
- Willingness to learn and take on new challenges.
- Good communication skills.
- Flexibility to work shifts, including weekends and holidays.
Together
We hire people with personality who have a desire to continuously learn. Each person should bring themselves to work to shape our culture and keep us real, interesting, and original.
To create a comfortable environment for all, guest and staff, we prioritise teamwork over titles: no one’s too important to lend a hand, or to be new to have a good opinion. We need low egos but high expectations: people who are humble enough to jump in, and serious about making an impact.
Three values we’ll expect you to live by
- Enjoy it: it’s still work, but if you’re having fun then so are our guests. It’s ok if you’re humming behind the bar or moving with the music.
- Own it: whoever you are, and whatever your role, someone’s enjoyment is in your hands. Always keep an eye out.
- Improve it: ask for feedback (and don’t be scared of what follows) and be curious. We’ll give you plenty of chances to learn and develop.
Note: positive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles are integrated across these three values.
