    London

    Sushi Chef (Freelance / Development Stage → Ongoing Work) PUSHI is a new, premium food concept launching in the UK, specialising in push-pop sushi — a modern, fusion take on sushi designed for events, pop-ups and private catering. I am currently at the development and testing stage of the business and am looking to connect with an experienced Sushi Chef to collaborate on creating a small tasting menu (4 signature push-pop sushi flavours) to finalise recipes, flavour profiles and presentation. This initial phase is a paid tasting / development session, with the intention of progressing into ongoing freelance, event-based and pop-up work once the brand officially launches and orders begin. This role would suit a chef who enjoys creative development, modern fusion flavours, and flexible freelance work rather than a traditional restaurant setting. What the role involves? Stage 1 – Development (Immediate): • Collaborating on a 4-item push-pop sushi tasting menu, • Helping refine flavours, textures and portioning, • Advising on prep efficiency and consistency Stage 2 – Launch & Growth (Post-Launch): • Preparing sushi for pop-ups, private events and catering orders, • Freelance / ad-hoc work as bookings come in, • Potential for regular collaboration as the business grows and the opportunity to lead a team in the kitchen as demands and orders grow What I’m looking for? • Experience as a Sushi Chef (restaurant, catering or freelance), • Comfortable with fusion flavours and modern presentation, • Reliable, professional, and open to working with a startup brand, • Food hygiene certified (or willing to obtain), • UK right to work, • A passion for sushi and for becoming a leader playing with flavour and fashion What’s on offer? • Paid development / tasting session, • Ongoing freelance, event-based paid work, • Opportunity to be involved from the early stages of a UK-first food concept, • Creative input while the brand is being shaped Important to note This is not a full-time position at this stage. It is ideal for chefs who: • Freelance, • Work part-time elsewhere, • Enjoy pop-ups and events, • Want to be part of a growing concept from the start and grow with the business How to apply Please get in touch with: • A brief summary of your experience, • Your availability, • Any social media / portfolio (if available) The ideal candidate I am looking for someone who is passionate about sushi and has a fun energy to work with who is passionate about flavour and progressing with this brand and business
