Description

Commis chef required

This is a fantastic opportunity for a trainee chef, experienced kitchen porter or competent chalet host with ambitions in a commercial kitchen.

We are looking for a commis chef who will be confident leading breakfast service and cooking traditional Scottish breakfast for up to 35 guests, and who will assume responsibility for starters, salads and desserts during dinner service (80 covers during high season). You will also assist the head chef or sous chef during lunch (up to 100 covers).

You will be responsible for taking kitchen hygiene records and ensuring the rest of the kitchen team adhere to best practice.

This is a beautiful and quiet island but the hotel can get very busy so we are looking for staff who enjoy working in a busy environment. During quieter shifts it's important that our staff are pro-active and the highest level of customer service is expected at all times.

This role involves early starts and late finishes so you need to have endless amounts of energy and a bright, positive outlook.

You will be able to cope well under 
pressure and work pro-actively on your own and in a team. You must have an infallible work ethic, an Elementary Food Hygiene certificate and fluent English.

Please insert a photo into your CV and send with your application.

About us

The Isle of Jura, in the Inner Hebrides, is the place to get away from it all – it is a breathtakingly beautiful and calm place, which suits many people but doesn’t suit others! There is one pub (in the hotel), one shop, 6000 deer and 200 inhabitants. Everyone is genuinely very friendly and sociable but if you like to spend your weekends at nightclubs or the shops, this is not the place for you. On the other hand if you love the outdoors, walking, cycling and being in the fresh air, this could suit you perfectly.

The Jura Hotel is the only hotel on the island of Jura. As it holds the only pub on this island of only 200 people, the hotel is one of the focal points of island life.

The hotel has seventeen bedrooms which are sold on a bed-and-breakfast basis. During the busy summer months we serve up to 80 covers each evening. 

The hotel is owner-managed by a young couple and employs a team of up to twenty-five full- or part-time staff.  Accommodation is provided in or near the hotel.
