Chef de Partie

Join White Rabbit Hospitality as Chef de Partie, Rusacks St Andrews | OTE £16.20 per hour

Cook with the Old Course on one side and the North Sea on the other.

There aren't many kitchens with a view like this. Rusacks St Andrews sits right above the 18th hole of the Old Course, in the Home of Golf, and we're looking for a talented Chef de Partie to join the brigade. This is your chance to run a section in a landmark luxury hotel, send out plates people remember, and cook somewhere the whole world wants to visit.

Who we are

We're White Rabbit Hospitality, the team behind some of the UK's most celebrated hotels and restaurants, including The Randolph Oxford and Graduate Cambridge. At Rusacks, that comes alive across Restaurant 18, our rooftop restaurant with sweeping views over the Old Course and West Sands, and The Bridge, our buzzing all-day bar and dining room. As Chef de Partie, you'll be right at the heart of it.

Why this role is different

This isn't a role where you're just another pair of hands. As Chef de Partie, you own your section. You set it up, you run it, and you take real pride in every plate that leaves it. You'll have the support of an experienced team around you, the produce of one of the best larders in Scotland to work with, and a genuine platform to grow. If you want your cooking to matter, it matters here.

What we stand for

Our values aren't a poster on the wall. They show up in every service, every shift and every plate that leaves your pass.

Our Values – In Every Service

• HOSPITALITY IS AT OUR CORE: Every plate you send is part of someone's reason to come back. You cook with care and never lose sight of the guest at the end of it.
• WE DO THE RIGHT THING: You keep your section spotless, your fridges in order and your standards high, even when no one's watching. Food safety and respect for produce are non-negotiable.
• WE PURSUE EXCELLENCE: Timing, seasoning, consistency, presentation. You chase the details that turn a good plate into a great one.
• WE ARE ALL ENTREPRENEURS: You bring ideas, spot what can be done better, and treat your section like it's your own.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Running your own section with confidence, from prep through to a busy service
• Delivering consistent, beautifully presented dishes to brief, every single time
• Setting up and maintaining strong mise en place and keeping your section clean and organised
• Following all food safety, allergen and HACCP procedures to the letter
• Supporting and helping to train Commis Chefs and newer team members
• Managing stock on your section, minimising waste and supporting accurate ordering
• Working closely with the wider kitchen and front of house to deliver smooth, calm services
• Bringing energy and ideas as the menus evolve with the seasons

What Do You Need?

• Experience as a Chef de Partie, or a strong Commis Chef ready to step up, ideally in a hotel or quality restaurant kitchen
• The ability to run a section confidently and deliver consistent quality under pressure
• Strong understanding of food safety, allergens and kitchen hygiene
• Reliable, punctual and ready to set the pace across a varied week
• A genuine team player who lifts the people around them
• Real passion for great food and a hunger to keep learning
• The right to work in the UK

What We Offer:

Aside from an OTE of £16.20 per hour, we provide:

• A section of your own in one of Scotland's most iconic hotel kitchens
• A genuine path to grow towards Senior Chef de Partie and Sous Chef
• Team member dining discounts across the entire White Rabbit Hospitality portfolio
• Ongoing training and development as the property and the wider group grow
• A supportive People Team and a culture where team members are valued, not numbered
