New Jobs Head Chef Needed in UK with Visa Sponsorship

Job Position: Head Chef Role in the UK (Visa Sponsorship for Visa Switchers)
Company: Izakaya Japanese Bar
Salary: From £31,000 a year
Location: College Green, Bristol, UK

At Izakaya Bristol, we’re all about great vibes and even better food. From steaming bowls of ramen to precision-cut sushi, we bring the heart of Japanese street food to the center of Bristol.

We aren’t looking for someone to sit in an office and look at spreadsheets all day. We need a hands-on Head Chef who loves being in the thick of service, leading from the front, and making sure every plate that leaves the kitchen is perfect.

What you’ll actually be doing

You’ll be the captain of the ship. This means:

• Leading the Line: You’ll be hands-on with prep and service across our entire menu—sushi, ramen, rice dishes, and hot tapas.
• Building the Team: You’ll manage a mix of full-time and part-time chefs, keeping the energy positive, training them up, and making sure everyone is working in harmony.
• The “Business” of Cooking: You’ll handle the rotas, order the stock, keep waste down, and help us come up with exciting new Japanese dishes.
• Kitchen Standards: You’ll keep the kitchen organized, clean, and safe, making sure all the paperwork is up to date so we stay top-tier.

Is this you?

• The Leader: You’ve got at least 1–2 years of experience in a leadership role in a kitchen. You know how to handle a busy service under pressure and keep your cool.
• The Specialist (Optional): We’d love it if you have experience with Japanese cuisine (sushi/ramen), but if you’re a great chef who is a fast learner and a great leader, we still want to talk to you!
• The Pro: You’re organized, reliable, and you understand that a clean kitchen is a happy kitchen. You should have (or be willing to get) your Food Hygiene Level 2 or 3.
• Communication: You’re a great communicator who can resolve conflicts and keep the team motivated.

What’s in it for you?

• Visa Sponsorship: We are happy to offer sponsorship for the right candidate (please note: this is for visa switchers already in the UK).
• Great Pay: Starting at £31,000 + your share of the TRONC (tips).
• The Perks: Free meals when you’re on shift, discounts for your friends and family, and a casual dress code.
• The Culture: Bristol is a world-class food city, and College Green is right in the heart of it. You’ll be working in a friendly, supportive environment where your hard work is actually noticed.
