At the Hotel Vistabella 5*, one of the most iconic hotels on the Costa Brava, we are seeking a Head Chef to lead our gastronomic restaurant Els Brancs and our Beach Club El Pirata—a space dedicated to Mediterranean and author cuisine, with its own identity and established standards. We are looking for a professional who values teamwork, stability, and sound management over personal spotlight.

Main responsibilities: • Lead and coordinate a kitchen team of 8–10 people, fostering a positive work environment. • Prepare and supervise dishes according to established recipes, technical sheets, and standards. • Manage the purchasing department, supplier relations, and price negotiations. • Control stock levels, inventories, recipe yield sheets (scandallos), and costs. • Organize shifts, work planning, and service schedules. • Ensure compliance with hygiene and health regulations (HACCP). • Collaborate closely with Hotel Management. Experience: 3 years. • Minimum 3–5 years’ experience as Head Chef, Sous Chef, or Executive Chef in gastronomic restaurants or 4*/5* hotels. • Experience managing teams of 8–15 people, motivating and coordinating staff on a daily basis. • Experience in procurement management, stock control, inventory management, and cost control. • Experience implementing and monitoring recipes, technical sheets, and quality standards. • Experience in shift planning and operational organization of gastronomic services. * Cuisine * Spanish (advanced spoken and written) * Vehicle availability required: car or motorcycle * Valid driving license: categories A, B * Temporary employment contract (9 months) * Full-time position * Gross monthly salary from '3000' to '3500' * Additional information of interest: Weekly day off always on Mondays.
