About the role
New opening!
Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It...
As our new Sous Chef, you'll be joining the kitchen at an exciting time as we bring new food concepts to life at The Social Hub Amsterdam City. From Grandmother, our all-day café inspired by everyone's favourite grandmother, to The Clubhouse, the social heart of the hub serving modern classics from breakfast through to late night, you'll help shape the food, the team and the kitchen culture from day one.
Working alongside the Head Chef, you'll lead from the front-keeping services running smoothly, supporting and developing the team, and making sure every dish that leaves the pass reflects the quality we're known for. You'll bring structure when it's busy, creativity when it's needed and the confidence to step up whenever the kitchen needs you.
In Case You Don’t Know Who We Are
Known for being the rule breakers in hospitality, TSH is a fun, creative and inspiring environment where everyone can work, stay, learn and play and most importantly – be themselves.

At The Social Hub, we believe pay should be fair and consistent. That's why we carefully determine your starting salary based on the role, your assessed proficiency, and our salary framework. We make our best and fairest offer upfront, so we don't negotiate salaries. Because fairness shouldn’t depend on who negotiates best.
Who you are, is how we want you to be. To us, hybrid hospitality goes across the board, from how we service our guests to how we represent ourselves. Here, everyone belongs, and we welcome people no matter their nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or culture. Your authenticity keeps our team diverse. Come as you are.
