The Museum of Making - Sous Chef Position

Exciting changes are in progress at the Museum of Making, a part of Derby Museums. Recently completing a £18m program, this space opened in May 2021 on the site of the world's first factory. Delving into Derby's 300-year history of manufacturing, the Museum of Making stands as a modern facility aiming to spark new creative endeavors.

Among its offerings, the Museum boasts various galleries, exclusive event spaces, and the River Kitchen. These spaces provide a captivating setting for a wide array of events.

To uphold the high standards of these events and manage the growing demand, we are seeking an experienced Sous Chef to join our team.

At Derby Museums, we take pride in tailoring unique packages for clients, ranging from conference buffets to elaborate award ceremony dinners. Weddings hosted across our venues call for a specialized touch, which includes the Museum of Making, Derby Museum and Art Gallery, and Pickfords House.

Our events schedule may vary, sometimes spanning over three consecutive evenings. The River Kitchen operates from Tuesday to Sunday, where our team collaborates to create a delightful array of cakes, scones, soups, and pastries.
