Sticks'n'Sushi Head Office
Calling Strange Fish of Manchester]. We’re looking for a Sous Chef like you: a craftsperson with fire in your heart, a calm spirit under pressure, and a talent for leading a kitchen with precision, pride, and playfulness. You’ll bring strong culinary and leadership experience, the ability to guide a team through busy services, and the creativity to help shape the flavours and future of Sticks ’n’ Sushi.
If this sounds like you, then you're more than ready to take your place beside us — shoulder to shoulder with your fellow Strange Fish.
• Someone who works with hands, head, and heart in perfect rhythm?
• A detail-driven professional who stays cool and focused, even when the heat rises?
• Positive, approachable, and fun to be around — a steady presence in the heart of the kitchen?
• Able to adapt, problem-solve, and move with change while keeping standards sky-high?
• A team player with a small ego, a big smile, and a desire to lift and support those around you?
• Culturally curious and hungry to learn more about our Danish ’n’ Japanese roots?
• You support the Head Chef in running a smooth, efficient, and joyful kitchen.
• You lead and mentor your fellow Strange Fish. Coaching, guiding and helping them to grow every day. You love deepening your craft. You respect the rituals and traditions of kushiyaki, but are also curious to bring your own spark and ideas to it.
• You bring team spirit, kindness, respect.
• You think "we" rather than "I" (and we probably say "Ja tak" more than once a day!
• You have a desire to have fun as you work with your fellow Strange Fishes. Togetherness is the word
We want you to grow with us, so through our Lead ‘n’ Learn academy, you can keep learning and developing your skills and challenge your responsibilities (and your healthy risk-taking). Our training is structured to both help you shine and create memories, in your role and beyond.
Yes, we work hard. But we also laugh, learn, and enjoy the ride. We want all our Strange Fish to be part of building something meaningful and to feel involved in making Sticks ‘n’ Sushi a little bit better every day. A place where everyone belongs and is represented. As well as our Sticks ‘n’ Sushi language lessons (so you can speak our (slightly odd) hosting lingo in no time), you’ll enjoy:
· Staff food (very, very delicious) every shift.
· 50% discount across all our restaurants, everywhere (yes – and drinks.)
· Generous referral bonus schemes.
· Employee assistance and wellbeing support.
· Financial wellbeing support.
· Employee discounts – retail and high street.
· Team events, unforgettable team parties & awards.
Then click apply, it takes no time at all. At Sticks ’n’ Sushi, we welcome everyone, so we can’t wait to hear about the Strange Fish that you are. If your spark lights ours, we’ll invite you for a chat so we can meet you properly – and then if it really feels right, we’ll dive straight in together.
That’s us.
