Sous Chef – Brighton i360
Big venue. Big energy. Brighton seafront.
Brighton i360 is not your average hospitality site - and this is not your average Sous Chef role.
Right on Brighton’s seafront, i360 brings together a restaurant, bar, café, events space and visitor destination all in one iconic location. From busy brunch services and beachfront dining to large-scale events, private hires and packed summer weekends, the kitchen here operates with serious pace and variety.
We’re looking for Sous Chefs at all levels to join the team - whether you’re an experienced Sous Chef ready for your next challenge or a strong Junior Sous looking to step up in a fast-moving, high-volume kitchen.
This is a role for chefs who love fresh environments, busy services and being part of a team that delivers great food in one of Brighton’s most exciting venues.
The Role
As Sous Chef, you’ll support the day-to-day running of the kitchen, helping deliver high-quality food across restaurant service, events and hospitality operations.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Supporting the smooth running of day-to-day kitchen operations
- Leading sections and supporting busy services
- Assisting the Head Chef with team management and kitchen organisation
- Maintaining high standards of food quality, presentation and consistency
- Supporting stock control, ordering and kitchen prep
- Ensuring HACCP, food safety and hygiene standards are maintained
- Helping develop seasonal dishes, menus and event offerings
- Creating a positive, organised and team-focused kitchen culture
About You
You’ll already have experience working in fast-paced professional kitchens and thrive in high-energy services.
You might currently be a Junior Sous Chef looking to step up, or an experienced Sous Chef ready for a new challenge in a larger, more dynamic venue.
You’ll bring:
- Experience working in busy hospitality kitchens
- A genuine passion for food and hospitality
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- Good organisational skills and attention to detail
- Confidence working under pressure during busy services
- Solid understanding of food safety, allergens and HACCP
- A positive attitude and willingness to get stuck in
- Experience with events or high-volume service is a bonus
Why i360?
Because this is kitchen life with a sea view - and no two days ever look the same.
You’ll get:
- Up to £40,000 salary + Service charge
- Up to 50% discount across all Nightcap venues
- The opportunity to work in one of Brighton’s most iconic venues
- A unique beachfront working environment
- Career progression opportunities within Nightcap
- A fast-paced, high-energy kitchen with loads of variety
This is not a role for someone who wants quiet services and the same routine every day.
We need chefs who bring energy, teamwork and strong standards - and who love being part of busy kitchens that deliver great experiences from morning coffee through to large-scale evening events.
