Help build Helliwell Hall's culinary reputation through exceptional food and memorable guest experiences.
Collaborate with the marketing team to promote the menu through social media, special events, and community partnerships.
Share the story behind the menu, local ingredients, and the culinary experience to strengthen the Helliwell Hall brand.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have:

Experience leading a professional kitchen as a Head Chef, Sous Chef, or in another leadership role.
