Lead Chef - Create, Inspire, Belong.
Ready to take the reins in a kitchen where your creativity truly matters? We're looking for a passionate Lead Chef who wants to shape something special - from seasonal menus to unforgettable dining experiences.
What Makes This Role Special
You'll have genuine creative ownership over our kitchen operations. Design seasonal menus, craft weekly specials, and bring your culinary vision to life in an environment that actually listens to your ideas. We're offering both full-time and part-time options, so you can find the work-life balance that suits you.
Why You'll Love Working Here
We're more than just another restaurant - we're a tight-knit crew who genuinely care about great food and each other. You'll join a team that values collaboration, supports your growth, and believes work should feel good. We love a laugh, celebrate great service, and always make time for that perfect post-shift meal together.
Your Day-to-Day Will Include
Designing and delivering seasonal menus that celebrate fresh, local produce
Creating exciting weekly or fortnightly specials
Managing all food preparation, including desserts
Handling kitchen operations and stock ordering
Maintaining high food safety and storage standards
Leading during busy services while keeping your cool
Mentoring team members and contributing fresh ideas
What We're Looking For
You're an experienced chef with at least 4 years in commercial kitchens and proven experience running a section or leading a small team. You thrive under pressure, love experimenting with flavors, and take genuine pride in every plate that leaves your kitchen.
Most importantly, you understand that great food comes from quality ingredients and that less is often more. You're solutions-focused, flexible, and ready to contribute to a positive team culture.
Essential Requirements
Minimum 4 years commercial kitchen experience
Proven section running or team leadership experience
Demonstrated ability to handle busy services efficiently
Must be an Australian citizen - we cannot provide visa sponsorship
Flexible, creative, and solutions-focused approach
