Chef de Partie — Domain Botanical Business Group

Join us at the start of something excellent.

Domain Botanical is expanding, and we're looking for driven Chef de Parties who want more than just another kitchen job — someone who thrives on variety, wants to sharpen their craft across premier venues like Gilson and the newly opening The Frog Club, and is ready for a genuine stake in building their career alongside a group that's serious about growing its people.

What's in it for you:

Grow across iconic venues.

As part of Domain Botanical, you won't be stuck in one spot. You'll gain invaluable multi-site experience working across South Yarra staples like Gilson, the launch of Frog Club, and future group venues. Being in on the ground floor means real, mapped-out career progression — think Junior Sous and Sous Chef roles, multi-site leadership opportunities, and a clear path upward as we expand. We promote from within, and we're investing in the next generation of culinary leaders now.

Master multiple concepts and menus.

Working across different kitchens means rapid skill development. To support your growth, we offer structured training in kitchen management, prep systems, and section leadership so you build the business smarts to run a pass — not just cook on one. Pair that with regular kitchen masterclasses led by guest chefs and industry specialists, and you're constantly sharpening your craft.

A mentor in your corner.





You'll be paired with experienced Head Chefs and leaders across the group who are genuinely invested in your development — real mentoring, feedback, and skill refinement every step of the way.

Your time matters.

We know hospitality has a reputation for chewing up work-life balance. We're doing it differently, with flexible rostering and a genuine push toward a 4-day working week — because a well-rested chef is a better chef.

Perks that add up.

Enjoy generous employee discounts across all Domain Botanical venues — bring your friends and family, on us.

Locations you'll love coming to.

Based in prime South Yarra spots, you'll be cooking in the heart of one of Melbourne's most vibrant dining precincts — easy to get to, high energy, and surrounded by the city's best food and hospitality talent.

A rare chance to shape new venues.

Help drive established favorites like Gilson while getting hands-on experience launching new concepts like The Frog Club. Your fingerprints will be on the food, the culture, and the growth of the entire group.

Sound like you?

If you're a passionate, driven chef ready to elevate your skills across top-tier South Yarra kitchens — not just clock in for a shift — we'd love to hear from you.
