Junior Sous Chef - Murano Michelin Star Restaurant

Angela Hartnett is looking for a Junior Sous Chef to join the team at Murano Restaurant in Queen Street Mayfair.

Murano is a Michelin‑starred restaurant led by Angela Hartnett. For over 17 years, we have built a reputation for consistency, high standards, and a strong, supportive team culture. Our cooking is Modern European with a strong Italian influence — ingredient‑led, seasonal, and focused on simplicity done well.

This role is ideal for a strong Senior Chef de Partie who is ready to take the next step into kitchen management.

We are looking for someone with experience in Michelin‑starred or high‑level kitchens, who is technically confident, organised, and keen to develop their leadership skills. A good understanding of Italian flavours and seasonality is important, along with attention to detail and pride in execution.

As Junior Sous Chef, you will work closely with the Head Chef, Angela, and Development Chef Em Brightman, supporting the day‑to‑day running of the kitchen and assisting with menu development. This is a hands‑on position — you will run sections, support service, and step onto the pass as needed, while helping to maintain standards across the brigade.

A key part of the role is supporting and training junior chefs, leading by example and helping to build confidence and consistency within the team. You will also assist the Head Chef with organisation, stock control, hygiene standards, and food cost awareness, while continuing to develop your own management skills.

We are looking for someone calm, reliable, and eager to learn — a team player who can handle busy services without ego and who genuinely cares about the people they work with. Creating a positive, respectful kitchen environment is central to everything we do at Murano, and the Junior Sous Chef plays an important role in supporting that culture.

• Good quality team meals at lunch and dinner — eaten together
• Up to 28 days paid holiday (including service charge), increasing with length of service
• 50% discount when dining in our restaurants (including drinks and starters) for you and up to five guests
• Employee Assistance Programme including 24/7 online GP, counselling and legal advice
• Wagestream – access part of your wages as you earn
• Clear opportunities for progression, training, and development
• Company parties and events
• Opportunities to work at external events and festivals
• Annual supplier trips to better understand our produce
• Restaurants closed over the festive period for a proper break

If you are a strong Senior Chef de Partie ready to step up, or a Junior Sous looking to grow in a well‑run, supportive kitchen, we would love to hear from you.
