About the role

Do you dream of trading the bustle of the city for island life - fresh sea air, wide open spaces, and a close knit community? This could be your chance.

We are looking for a Chef de Partie to join our kitchen team on the Isle of Islay, a stunning Hebridean island know for its wild beauty, whiskey distilleries, and incredible local produce. This role is ideal for a chef who wants to develop their craft while enjoying a lifestyle rooted in nature and community.


A role that offers:

  • Competitive salary between £27,000 to £29,000
  • Live-in accommodation provided at no rent (you'll only cover utilities)
  • Weekly changing rota for a healthy work-life balance
  • Internal/company discounts for you and your family
  • The chance to work with the very best locally sourced ingredients, from seafood fresh off the boat to seasonal game and island grown produce
  • A relaxed rural lifestyle with endless opportunities for walking, cycling, wildlife-spotting, and discovering the natural beauty of Islay

You need to be:

  • Experienced as a Chef de Partie (or ready to step up) within a similar style of venue, ideally with a background in high-quality dining
  • Passionate about fresh and locally sourced ingredients - you'll be cooking with produce that truly reflects the island
  • Adaptable to living in a remote location. Island life comes with its quirks, but the rewards are worth it
  • Confident assisting the Head Chef in the daily running of the brigade, ensuring smooth service and maintaining high standards
  • Keen to mentor junior members of the kitchen, helping to nurture and develop emerging talent
  • Able to demonstrate a track record of longevity and professional development, showing commitment and reliability in your career.

This position is more than just a job, it's a lifestyle. If you're ready to swap traffic for tranquility, and long commutes for coastal walks, this is a unique opportunity to grow as a chef while experiencing the best of island living.
