Demi Chef de Partie – Santa Joana, Lisbon

Demi Chef de Partie wanted for one of Lisbon's most exciting kitchens. If you live for service, take pride in every plate, and want to grow your culinary career inside a restaurant that is genuinely going places, this is your moment.

At Santa Joana, food is the heartbeat of everything we do. We are looking for a passionate Demi Chef de Partie ready to step up, sharpen their craft, and be part of a kitchen team that cooks with energy, precision, and real heart.

White Rabbit is a multi-brand hospitality group with a simple ambition: to be the world's leading hospitality incubator. We build restaurants and venues that people remember, and we build careers for the people who make them happen. Santa Joana sits proudly within our growing collection of Lisbon destinations, where Portuguese warmth meets serious culinary ambition.

This isn't a role where you clock in, repeat the same prep, and clock out. This is a role where your ideas matter, your skills are nurtured, and your next step is already being mapped out. We invest in people who want more, and we give you the kitchen, the mentors, and the platform to get there.

We are looking for someone who shares our values. Someone who knows that hospitality is at our core, who always strives to do the right thing, who refuses to settle and instead chooses to pursue excellence, and who thinks like an owner because we are all entrepreneurs.

Our Values – In Every Service

HOSPITALITY IS AT OUR CORE. Every dish you send carries the warmth and generosity our guests come back for.

WE DO THE RIGHT THING. You hold yourself to the highest standards of hygiene, safety, and respect for produce, your team, and our guests.

WE PURSUE EXCELLENCE. You sweat the details, taste as you go, and never let a plate leave the pass unless it is right.

WE ARE ALL ENTREPRENEURS. You bring ideas, take ownership of your section, and treat the kitchen as if it were your own.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Running your own section confidently during busy service, delivering consistent, high quality dishes every time
• Preparing, cooking, and presenting menu items to the exacting standards Santa Joana is known for
• Supporting the Chef de Partie and senior kitchen team, and stepping up when needed
• Maintaining impeccable standards of cleanliness, food safety, and HACCP compliance across your station
• Managing mise en place efficiently and minimising waste through smart, organised prep
• Learning new techniques, dishes, and skills as we grow your craft and your career
• Being a positive, reliable presence who lifts the energy of the whole kitchen team

What Do You Need?

• Previous experience in a professional kitchen, ideally as a Commis or Demi Chef de Partie
• Genuine passion for food and a hunger to learn and improve
• The ability to stay calm, focused, and organised under the pressure of a busy service
• A strong understanding of kitchen hygiene and food safety standards
• A team first attitude, great communication, and a willingness to muck in
• Reliability, energy, and pride in everything you put on a plate
• Right to Work in Portugal

What We Offer:

• A monthly package of €1,200
• Delicious meals on shift to keep you fuelled through service
• Hands on training and mentorship from talented senior chefs
• Real, structured progression across Santa Joana and the wider White Rabbit group
• Team member discounts across our restaurants and venues
• A supportive, ambitious kitchen culture where your talent is seen and rewarded

Join us as a Demi Chef de Partie and you are not just taking a job, you are starting a journey. As White Rabbit grows across Lisbon and beyond, so do the opportunities for the people who grow with us. Today a Demi Chef de Partie, tomorrow a Chef de Partie, a Sous Chef, and further still. Your ambition sets the ceiling, and we will help you smash through it.
