Bath Sushi (Ryujin Ltd) is a busy independent Japanese & sushi restaurant in central Bath. Most of our orders are Deliveroo/UberEats plus some eat-in and collection. We are looking for an experienced Head Sushi Chef to run our sushi section (sushi is around 60% of sales).

* Work with the kitchen team and management to improve menu and presentation

What we’re looking for

* Previous experience as a sushi chef in a restaurant (not home cooking)

* Good knife skills and strong understanding of sushi hygiene

* Able to work quickly while keeping portions and presentation consistent

* Reliable, responsible and comfortable running the sushi section

* Team player – this is a small team kitchen and others may help on sushi/packing when it’s busy

Pay & benefits

* Training/probation rate from £13.00–£14.50 per hour (DOE) for ~45–50 hours/week

* After a successful paid trial and 3-month probation, strong head chefs who meet our standards (speed, consistency, presentation) can earn up to £16.00 per hour, plus tips

* Performance bonus: extra £150 in any week where total restaurant sales are over £10,000, for chefs meeting our speed/quality standards (overall take-home can be around £800/week in strong weeks, depending on tax)

* Free staff accommodation – kingsize room in a good area of Bath

* Staff meal on shift

* Family-run, friendly environment, open Tuesday–Sunday (12–3 & 5–10)
