Known for exceptional food, warm hospitality, and a commitment to service excellence, the hotel is a popular destination for weddings, corporate events, leisure breaks, and local dining.
With a strong reputation for quality and innovation, Radisson Blu Sligo offers a dynamic working environment where chefs can grow, create, and deliver outstanding culinary experiences.
About the Role
We are seeking a talented and motivated Sous Chef to support our Executive Head Chef in leading the busy kitchen operations. This is a key leadership role within the culinary team, ideal for a chef with strong technical ability, creativity, and proven supervisory experience.

• Oversee food preparation for restaurants, bar dining, banqueting, and events
• Maintain smooth communication between kitchen and front-of-house teams
• Support kitchen scheduling, task delegation, and performance reviews
A Day in the Life
Your day may begin with reviewing prep lists, checking daily orders, and coordinating with the kitchen team before service begins. You'll work closely with the Executive Head Chef to plan menus, manage workflow, and ensure each plate leaving the pass meets the hotel's high standards. Whether leading a busy lunch service, supporting a large banquet, or coaching a junior chef, every day brings variety, teamwork, and the satisfaction of delivering exceptional dining experiences.
