Sous Chef – Schiller’s Hall Liverpool

Salary: £32,000–£35,000 per annum + up to 32% bonus (paid quarterly)

At Schiller’s Hall, where continental food and drink meet easy-going charm, we’re looking for a talented Sous Chef to join our kitchen team in Liverpool.

Inspired by our travels across Europe — from Bohemia to Bavaria, bustling city bistros to vibrant beer halls — Schiller’s Hall is our neighbourhood take on a modern continental dining experience. Our menu brings together grazing small plates, Alpine comfort dishes, beer hall favourites, lighter bites, and one of the city's most talked-about Sunday roasts.

This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced Sous Chef who thrives in a fresh-food environment and is ready to play a key role in shaping an exciting new chapter for one of Liverpool's most iconic hospitality spaces.

What you'll be doing

As Sous Chef, you'll be a key leader in the kitchen, working closely with the Head Chef to deliver exceptional food and memorable guest experiences every day.
You'll help drive standards across the kitchen, support and develop the team, and ensure service runs smoothly from preparation through to the busiest shifts.
From leading service and maintaining consistency to coaching junior chefs and helping manage kitchen operations, you'll play a vital role in building a motivated, high-performing team while ensuring quality, safety and profitability are always at the forefront.

What we're looking for

A passionate chef with a genuine love for fresh, high-quality food
Proven experience as a Sous Chef in a busy, fresh-food kitchen
A natural leader who can inspire, coach and develop a team
Someone who thrives under pressure and brings positive energy to service
Strong understanding of kitchen operations, food safety and cost control
A team player who enjoys being part of a close-knit and ambitious kitchen
An appreciation for European-inspired cooking, seasonal ingredients and comforting, crowd-pleasing dishes
