Yanchep Inn is looking for an experienced Chef de Partie to join our full-time kitchen team.

Located inside Yanchep National Park, the Inn is an established and varied hospitality operation covering restaurant service, accommodation, weddings, private functions and major events.

The business is here. The facilities are here. The volume is here, and the opportunity ahead of us is significant.

We now want to build a great kitchen team around people who are positive, capable and genuinely interested in what they produce.

This role offers considerably more than working the same section and completing the same tasks every shift.

You will work closely with the Head Chef across regular restaurant service, specials, weddings, functions and high-volume events. We want someone who is comfortable contributing ideas, receiving direct feedback and helping the Head Chef turn those ideas into food that is practical, consistent and sells.

This is not about doing your own thing or competing for control of the kitchen. It is about working within the Head Chef’s direction, contributing positively and taking pride in the success of the whole team.

Some days, the satisfaction will come from helping develop a special that customers genuinely want to order. On others, it will come from planning and preparing properly enough to help the kitchen successfully serve 400 meals in three hours.

About the role

Your responsibilities will include:

- Confidently running your section during busy services
- Preparing and presenting food consistently
- Working across restaurant, wedding, function and event service
- Working with the Head Chef on specials and food development
- Contributing practical ideas that improve the offering and support sales
- Planning and preparing effectively for high-volume services
- Maintaining strong cleanliness, organisation and food-safety standards
- Supporting junior chefs and other kitchen staff




- Taking responsibility for your work and following tasks through
- Contributing positively to the wider kitchen, not only your own section

About you

We are looking for someone who:
- Has solid experience as a Chef de Partie or in a similar role
- Can independently manage a section during busy service
- Is organised, dependable and communicates clearly
- Remains calm and productive under pressure
- Takes pride in consistent, well-presented food
- Brings a positive and constructive attitude to the kitchen
- Enjoys working collaboratively with a Head Chef
- Responds well to honest and direct feedback
- Understands that valuable food must also be practical and commercially successful
- Wants to continue developing and take on greater responsibility
- Holds relevant commercial cookery qualifications
- Has unrestricted Australian working rights

Experience in high-volume restaurant service, weddings or functions would be highly regarded.

What we offer

- $75,000–$85,000 plus super, based on experience and ability
- A full-time role in an established and busy hospitality operation
- Considerably more variety than a standard single-offering venue
- Restaurant, wedding, function and major-event experience
- Direct involvement in specials and food development
- The opportunity to work closely with the Head Chef and business owner
- A genuine long-term opportunity for the right person
- A clear pathway toward greater responsibility and senior kitchen leadership
- The opportunity for the position and remuneration to grow as your contribution and responsibilities increase

The Inn is entering an important new stage. We are not starting from nothing: the customers, operation and facilities are already here. The future is bigger, and we want the right people alongside us as we build it.

Weekend, evening and public-holiday availability is required.

To apply, please send your resume and a brief introduction outlining your experience, what you would bring to the kitchen and what you are looking for in your next role.
