Full-Time | Tuesday to Saturday | Early Starts | Leadership Role | Artarmon Sydney NSW Based | Onsite Parking
Ready to step into a leadership role and thrive in one of Sydney's most respected catering kitchens?
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.
This is not your typical restaurant or café kitchen role — it's a energetic 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.
About the Role
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.
It's an ideal prospect for a chef who's ready to step into a more senior role, particularly someone with experience in catering or large-format food production.
Schedule & Flexibility
Tuesday to Saturday as usual roster
Early starts (typically between 5am–6am), finishing between 2–3pm
Flexibility required for occasional evening or off-site event shifts (approx. 3–4 per month)
What You'll Be Doing
Leading and motivating the kitchen team alongside the Head Chef
Overseeing daily food production, prep, and event dispatch
Maintaining high standards of food safety, cleanliness, and kitchen organisation
Driving kitchen efficiency, stock rotation, and prep timelines
Supporting kitchen logistics, supplier deliveries, and catering order flow
Attending and executing off-site events with the FOH and operations team
Assisting with onboarding and training junior kitchen staff
About You
Previous experience in catering, production kitchens, or high-volume food prep (essential)
Calm, clear-headed, and confident in high-pressure environments
Strong communication and team leadership skills
Flexible, efficient,



and solutions-focused with attention to detail
Holds a valid NSW Driver's Licence and is confident driving automatic vans
Holds a Food Safety Supervisor Certificate
RSA Certificate highly regarded
Permanent residents preferred, but sponsorship available for the right candidate after a qualifying period
