Head Chef

Head Chef Permanent Opportunity

📍 Ystradgynlais

💰 Negotiable depending on experience

Have you ever dreamed of running your own restaurant but lacked the funding to make it happen? Are you passionate about fresh, locally sourced food and eager to put your stamp on a vibrant, growing venue?

Blue Arrow is recruiting for a permanent chef with a strong background to lead a busy café-style venue in Ystradgynlais. Since opening in the summer, the café has quickly become a local favourite, with strong footfall and exciting expansion already in works.

The venue currently serves breakfast and lunch, but there's a fantastic opportunity to introduce an evening service and expand the menu. With ongoing improvements to the space, this is the perfect time for a creative and driven chef to take the reins and shape the future of the business.

We're looking for someone with:

• A passion for fresh, quality food
• Experience managing kitchen profit margins and cost control
• Innovative ideas and a growth mindset
• Strong leadership and a hands-on approach
• Ability to work calmly under pressure and lead by example
• Seasonal menu planning and development
• Commitment to high standards of hygiene and food safety
• Foster a positive and productive working culture

What you will get in return:

• Competitive pay (negotiable based on experience)
• Performance-based bonus scheme
• Excellent work-life balance with flexible hours
• Supportive and inspiring working environment

If you're ready to take ownership of a thriving venue and bring your culinary vision to life, we'd love to hear from you.
