A brand-new kitchen. A fresh food offering. A chance to help build something from the beginning.
A brand-new kitchen is opening at Cedars Tavern at the end of September, and we're looking for an experienced Full-Time Sous Chef to help establish the operation.
Working alongside the Head Chef, you'll prepare for opening, build strong service routines and support the development of the team.
You may be able to start early, with onboarding at Prospect Hotel Motel or O'Donoghues before transitioning to Cedars.
Why You'll Love This Chance
Help shape the food operation before the first service
Work alongside an experienced Head Chef who knows Redcape venues
Influence how the kitchen team works together from the outset
Grow your leadership career across more than 50 Redcape venues
Receive 40% off food and drinks plus 10% off bottle shop purchases
Join a local venue with major investment and real momentum behind it
What You'll Do
Support the Head Chef with daily kitchen leadership and preparation for opening
Lead service and keep food quality, timing and presentation consistent
Guide, train and support chefs, cooks and kitchen team members
Assist with ordering, stock control, food costs and waste management
Maintain strong food safety,



cleanliness and compliance standards
Step up and lead the kitchen when the Head Chef is away
Who We're Looking For
Experience as a Sous Chef or senior chef in a busy pub, bistro or high-volume kitchen
Certificate III in Commercial Cookery or an equivalent recognised qualification
A confident service leader who communicates clearly and supports their team
Strong knowledge of food safety, stock control and kitchen operations
Someone who wants to help establish a kitchen—not simply inherit an existing operation
