Junior Pastry Sous Chef

Job description

A Stage Unlike Any Other

In 1863, a group of artists, writers, and free thinkers gathered with a shared conviction: that the finest conversation, the boldest ideas, and the warmest hospitality belonged together under one roof. Charles Dickens dined here. Whistler argued here. Rodin was inspired here.

The Arts Club was born not as a venue, but as a living expression of creative life - and it has never stopped.

At the heart of that life today are the people and spaces that bring our club to life every day. This is more than an operation - it is an environment where members connect, create, and return time and time again because something about it feels truly special.

It takes an exceptional person to be part of that.

That person might be you.

We are currently looking for a Junior Pastry Sous Chef to come and join our team working in this unique and luxury setting in Mayfair.

Assist the Pastry Sous Chef and Head Pastry Chef in the creation and development of new pastry menus, ensuring innovation and excellence.
