BAO Shoreditch is looking for a Sous Chef to support the Senior Sous and Head Chef in leading a calm, consistent, and high-performing kitchen.
This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in doing things properly - someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, leads by example, and is ready to take the next step in their career.
The Restaurant
Tucked into East London’s creative hub, BAO Shoreditch takes its cue from the bustling beef noodle shops of Taiwan - reimagined with a playful, London twist. Upstairs, guests enjoy rich bowls of beef noodle soup, signature BAOs, and a menu full of bold Taiwanese flavours.
Downstairs, there’s a bar and private KTV room, a unique space for late-night drinks, group dining, and the occasional singalong. It brings a fun, unexpected layer to the Shoreditch experience.
Like every BAO restaurant, Shoreditch has its own identity - energetic, characterful, and rooted in great food and service.
As Sous Chef, you’ll be a key part of the kitchen leadership team, supporting the Senior Sous and Head Chef in delivering excellent food, maintaining high standards, and helping the team stay organised and energised.
You’ll lead services, manage sections, and play a hands-on role in building a strong kitchen culture. This is a great opportunity for someone who’s passionate about food, organised under pressure, and enjoys supporting others to do their best work.
