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.

There’s no single template for success here - just the right approach and willingness to grow.
