Sous Chef - French Cuisine – Relocate to the Caribbean

Location: Caribbean Islands – multiple positions available

Frontier Recruitment is partnering with a luxury resort group in the Caribbean to appoint a Specialist French Chef to join their culinary leadership team.

This role is ideally suited to a robust Sous Chef currently working within a high-end restaurant, hotel, or resort environment, or someone already operating as a Specialist Chef within an international hospitality setting.

The successful candidate will be responsible for executing established menu concepts and maintaining exceptional culinary standards across the operation. This is not a creative development role — the focus is consistency, execution, leadership, and delivering an exceptional guest experience at every service.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Executive Chef on property, the Specialist French Chef will oversee the preparation and execution of refined French cuisine while supporting, mentoring, and leading the wider kitchen team.

This is a highly hands-on role requiring robust leadership presence on the floor and in the kitchen.

Lead and manage kitchen teams throughout service
Maintain consistency, presentation, and quality across all dishes
Work closely with the Executive Chef to ensure smooth daily operations
Train, mentor, and support junior culinary team members
Maintain high standards of cleanliness, organization, and food safety

The Ideal Candidate
Currently operating at Sous Chef level
Solid background in authentic French cuisine
Hands-on leadership style with the ability to motivate and manage teams effectively
Exceptional attention to detail and high personal standards
Calm under pressure with strong communication skills
Luxury hospitality experience preferred
International experience considered an asset

Work permit sponsorship will be provided for the successful candidates. Due to the nature of the relocation package, these positions are best suited to candidates able to relocate independently.

All applications will be handled with the strictest confidence. Full details of the roles and client will be shared during the initial stages of the recruitment process.
