The Chancery Rosewood is redefining luxury in Mayfair, housed in the former U.S. Embassy and reimagined by Sir David Chipperfield. With 144 suites by Joseph Dirand and a collection of dynamic dining and bar spaces, it’s a place where experiences are curated, conversations flow, and every detail matters.

As Senior Chef de Partie, you will be a cornerstone of culinary excellence within our kitchen — combining technical mastery with the mentorship and presence to raise those around you. The embodiment of Rosewood's Relationship Hospitality, you bring craft, precision, and genuine passion to every plate you send.

Key Responsibilities

• Set the standard on the section — leading by example through consistent, precise execution and supporting junior chefs through active coaching, preparation briefings, and a genuinely collaborative approach.
• Execute dishes with unfailing precision, maintaining exceptional presentation standards and ensuring every plate leaving your section reflects the quality and care expected of a five-star kitchen.
• Oversee your section with full ownership — managing mise en place, stock levels, and daily preparation to ensure service runs seamlessly and without interruption, handling any challenges with calm and decisiveness.
• Lead the section with confidence in the absence of senior management, making sound decisions that safeguard both culinary standards and the wellbeing of those working alongside you.
• Uphold compliance without compromise — maintaining rigorous food safety, allergen awareness, and HACCP protocols while keeping the section immaculate, organised, and fully guest-ready at all times.

About You

• Connection — You cultivate warm, authentic relationships with colleagues at every level, fostering a collaborative kitchen environment and leading briefings that motivate and prepare those around you.
• Guest-Centricity — You understand that the guest experience begins on your section. You take pride in the precision, consistency, and care behind every dish, knowing that your craft is central to delivering a five-star experience.
• Influencing — You articulate culinary standards with confidence and genuine enthusiasm, sharing your knowledge and technique with junior chefs to raise the collective standard of the kitchen.
• Integrity — You uphold food safety, hygiene, and operational protocols without compromise, taking personal responsibility for a safe, well-ordered, and impeccably maintained section.
• Drive — You bring energy and focus to every service, taking full ownership of preparation and continuously developing your knowledge — including ingredients, allergens, provenance, and technique.
• Adaptability — You embrace flexibility across different sections and service styles, remaining calm and solution-focused when priorities shift and proactively contributing ideas that improve the kitchen's output and culture.
