Head Chef

The Hoxton, Rome is our 10th Hoxton and boasts 192 bedrooms to suit any kind of stay. Enjoy a fresh pastry at Cugino, our relaxed café where you can soak up those Italian rays. Or drop into Elio, a restaurant designed to express the flavours, ingredients, energy and joyous hospitality of long and boozy meals with friends on holiday. The Apartment or L’appartamento as we say locally, is our unique meetings & events space concept, consisting of 5 rooms connecting to our communal kitchen area.

• Both guest and team experience will be at the heart of all you do. You’ll lead your team by example, keeping them involved and motivated; helping them feel empowered and supported, confident in providing top Hox experiences for our guests and comfortable turning to you with questions.

Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in chef whites here.

Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.

You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.

You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.

You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.

If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.

You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.

Minimum Requirements:

• 3+ years’ experience in a similar Head Chef role in a busy, bustling environment with freshness and provenance of ingredients as a key priority.
• Proven track record managing large kitchen teams across multiple outlets and kitchens.
• A true passion for creativity whilst maintaining the integrity of our brand standards through the dishes on the menu.
• Managerial skills to achieve budgeted KPI’s in labour and COS%.

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
