Lunetta Trattoria
Senior Chef de Partie / Junior Sous Chef
Canberra ACT | Full Time
Lunetta Trattoria is looking for an experienced chef to join our kitchen team, working alongside Executive Chef Tristan Rebbettes and Head Chef Will Moyle.
We're deliberately keeping the position flexible.
For the right applicant, this could be a Senior Chef de Partie role or an opportunity to step into a Junior Sous Chef position, depending on your experience, capability and readiness to take on greater responsibility.
Lunetta Trattoria is the energetic, Italian-inspired sibling to hatted restaurant Lunetta, located within Canberra's iconic Red Hill modernist building.
Our food is produce-driven, generous and grounded in Italian cooking, with a solid focus on quality ingredients, making as much as possible in-house and cooking over fire.
The role
Working closely with Tristan, Will and the senior kitchen team, you will:
Run and take ownership of a section at a high standard
Assist with preparation, service and daily kitchen operations
Maintain consistency, organisation and presentation
Support and develop junior chefs
Contribute to a professional, respectful and well-organised kitchen environment
Assist with ordering, stock control and kitchen systems where appropriate
For a Junior Sous appointment, take on additional leadership responsibilities and help oversee services when required
About you
We're looking for someone who:
Has solid experience in a quality restaurant kitchen
Is confident running a busy section independently




Has strong organisation and attention to detail
Works calmly and consistently during service
Takes pride in their food and their workplace
Communicates well and contributes positively to the team
Is interested in Italian food and produce-driven cooking
Wants to continue developing as a chef and take on greater responsibility
You do not need to already be a Sous Chef.
If you're a strong CDP ready to take the next step, this is an opportunity to develop into a leadership role while working closely with two experienced senior chefs.
Equally, if you're an established Senior CDP looking for a quality kitchen and professional environment without necessarily chasing a management title, we'd be happy to shape the position around the right person.
What we offer
A qualified, quality-focused kitchen environment
The opportunity to work directly with Executive Chef Tristan Rebbettes and Head Chef Will Moyle
Competitive salary based on experience and level of appointment
Genuine opportunity for progression and development
Strong kitchen systems and experienced leadership
Exposure to both Lunetta Trattoria and our hatted upstairs restaurant, Lunetta
A team that values consistency, professionalism and a positive kitchen culture
If you're an experienced chef looking for your next move, whether that's establishing yourself as a Senior Chef de Partie or stepping into a Junior Sous Chef role, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply through SEEK with your CV and a brief introduction.
