At Dean Group, we reimagine hospitality with character, not conformity. Founded in Dublin and now growing across Europe and the US, we create hotels shaped by personality, culture, and a heart-led hustle. Each of our hotels, restaurants, bars and gyms tells its own story, brought to life through humble hospitality and genuine human connection. Our people are at the centre of it all. They show up with individuality, warmth and curiosity, shaping who we are and how guests experience our hotels every day. We welcome fresh thinking and imagination, because playing it safe never made anything unforgettable.

We are now seeking an experienced, passionate Chef de Partie to join the team in Jean-Georges at The Leinster Hotel. This is a rare opportunity to be part of an internationally celebrated brand, within an energetic, multicultural brigade of professionals who thrive on creativity and precision. Perched atop Dublin's most exciting Art Deco landmark, The Leinster, Jean-Georges is a Michelin-commended, modern fusion restaurant that celebrates the best of Irish ingredients elevated with bold, imaginative techniques. Part of the world-renowned Jean-Georges collection - from the two-Michelin-star flagship in New York to restaurants in Kyoto, London, Las Vegas and beyond - our Dublin home is at the forefront of Ireland's culinary scene.
