Sous Chef

We are excited to recruit an experienced Sous Chef to join our Canning Town Market Kitchen concept, joining the team at the very beginning of the journey.

Market Kitchen is a new concept for Morrisons and will be based within our busy Canning Town Store following the successful launches of multiple Market Kitchens across the UK.

Market Kitchen will use ingredients straight from our famous Market Street to create delicious and affordable meals for customers. Customers can either wait for food to be prepared by our chefs, pick it up in pre-packed portions, or order food from home via Deliveroo. Our food offering will be trend driven and often reacting to consumer behaviours and feedback and will offer tasty dishes on the go at affordable prices. 

As Sous Chef you will be accountable for supporting the end to end process of all food produced and serviced through the Market Kitchen directed by the Head Chef, deputising in their absence. You’ll continuously build capability of the Chefs, using your expertise to guide and mentor them to success.
