Full-Time | Tuesday to Saturday | Early Starts | Leadership Role | Artarmon Sydney NSW Based | Onsite Parking
n
Ready to step into a leadership role and thrive in one of Sydney's most respected catering kitchens?
n
Flavours Catering + Events is on the lookout for a talented Sous Chef with a passion for high-quality food, team leadership, and the fast-paced world of catering.
n
This is not your typical restaurant or café kitchen role — it's a dynamic opportunity within a production kitchen and events environment, working closely with our Head Chef and kitchen team to deliver exceptional food for high-end corporate and private events.
n
About the Role
n
As Sous Chef, you'll play a key role in leading our kitchen operations. You'll help manage daily production, support the wider team, ensure smooth prep and dispatch, and occasionally attend off-site events to oversee food service. This is a hands-on, kitchen-based role — not an office job.
n
It's an ideal opportunity for a chef who's ready to step into a more senior role, particularly someone with experience in catering or large-format food production.
n

Tuesday to Saturday as usual roster
n
Early starts (typically between 5am–6am), finishing between 2–3pm
