Benidorm
Chef Wanted. New Amigos Restaurant Opening in Benidorm's Old Town Over the years Amigos Restaurant & Roof Terrace has established itself as the go-to restaurant in Benidorm for special occasions, rated 4.8 out of 5 with over 2,500 five-star TripAdvisor reviews - 9 out of 10 reviewers give us full marks. We're now opening a new site, Amigos Restaurant & Al Fresco Dining, and we're looking for a full-time chef to cook there. We're not a high-volume operation and we're not trying to be. The focus is food quality and great service, plates that go out right every time, to customers who come back. If your idea of a good service is covers-per-hour, this isn't the kitchen for you. If it's quality that matters to you - then get in touch. Hours that suit a life: full-time, evenings only. No split shifts. No early starts, no daytime prep marathons. Your mornings are genuinely your own. In a resort where most kitchen jobs eat your entire day, this one doesn't. Straight about the role: you'll be cooking our existing menu to our standards to begin with. Once you've proved yourself and we're confident in each other, that changes. You'll take on real ownership of how the kitchen runs, and your input on the menu will genuinely count. We'd rather tell you that up front than promise you a free hand on day one and take it back in week two. What we offer: • Refurbished, spacious and fully equipped kitchen with proper room to work, • Evenings only, no split shifts, mornings free, • A hands-on role working alongside a starter chef, with no rotas or staffing to manage, • A clear path to running the kitchen your way, and to menu input, once you've earned it, • An established name and a reputation already built, rather than a standing start, • Competitive salary, plus bonuses, tips, contract and holidays, • Relaxed al fresco dining concept, food-focused, no entertainment. What we're looking for: • Previous experience as a chef or cook in a similar role, • Happy to be at the stove throughout service rather than supervising, • Consistency, quality and presentation that hold up on busy nights, • Someone who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told, • Clean, organised kitchen discipline and full food hygiene compliance, • Strong communication, English speaking, • Evening and weekend availability, • All applicable paperwork in place (NIE, social security, etc.), • Two contactable references from previous employers Salary discussed at interview. That 9 out of 10 wasn't luck. It's what happens when the person at the stove cares about every plate. If that's how you cook, we'd like to hear from you. Send your CV, two contactable references, and a short note about the kind of kitchen you want to work in.
