Four days in the kitchen. Three days to yourself.

We're looking for an experienced Sous Chef to take a leading role in our established pub kitchen in Woodburn, in the heart of the Northern Rivers.

We know hospitality can be demanding, so we've structured this position differently.

You'll work a genuine four-day week, giving you three days off each week, along with one full weekend off every month.

For someone relocating to the area, we can also provide short-term accommodation while you get settled.

Most importantly, this isn't a Sous Chef role with nowhere to go. We're looking for someone who wants to take ownership of a kitchen, develop their management skills and ultimately progress into our Head Chef position.

The role

You'll be the senior chef responsible for the day-to-day running of kitchen service.





You'll be supported by two other qualified chefs, an apprentice and additional casual kitchen staff, particularly during our busier services.

Our Food & Beverage Manager is an experienced former Head Chef who previously ran the kitchen. He remains responsible for overall F&B; operations and will provide support, mentoring and oversight, but isn't rostered into the kitchen.

That means you'll have the chance to genuinely lead the kitchen while still having an experienced operator there to support you.

Our pub trades seven days a week for lunch and dinner, with Friday through Sunday our busiest services.
