    CHEF DE PARTIE – HYATT CENTRIC, STARMAN RESTAURANT, CAMBRIDGE As Chef de Partie, you'll take ownership of your section, preparing and delivering high-quality dishes while helping to ensure the kitchen operates efficiently and to consistently high standards. Working closely with the wider kitchen team, you'll play a key role in delivering exceptional dining experiences, maintaining food safety and quality, and supporting the development of junior colleagues. This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled chef who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in producing great food every service. THE STAGE IS SET The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent. What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach. Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost. THE WORK IN YOUR HANDS Prepare and present high-quality dishes with consistency, creativity and attention to detail.

Adapt to guest requests and support the team to deliver an outstanding dining experience. Work collaboratively across the hotel, supporting events and business needs while contributing to a positive, high-performing kitchen culture. Champion our brand standards, health & safety procedures and operational excellence every day. Naturally this is not intended as an exhaustive list of duties. Other duties as may be reasonably required will form part of this job description THE FIRE YOU CARRY Strong cooking knowledge using fresh ingredients and international cuisine Ability to maintain high food quality and presentation standards Good organisational and time-management skills Team-oriented mindset with a strong community spirit Basic understanding of kitchen cost control and waste management Ability to work efficiently under pressure in a busy kitchen environment Professional attitude with honesty, integrity, and customer awareness YOUR PROVEN TRACK Minimum 2 years’ experience in a high-volume hotel, brasserie, or restaurant Kitchen Basic culinary qualification or certificate from a Culinary Arts program preferred Experience working within professional kitchen teams Knowledge of stock control and kitchen operational procedures Basic knowledge of Microsoft Office (Email, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is an advantage WHAT WE LOOK FOR We’re here to rethink what a modern lifestyle hotel can be. That takes pace, creativity, and people who enjoy working with purpose. If you’re comfortable with change, motivated by ideas, and focused on crafting meaningful guest experiences, you’ll do well here. We value individuals who can hold a vision, appreciate atmosphere, and want their work to have impact. Skills can be taught. Mindset can’t. There’s no single template for success here - just the right approach and willingness to grow.
