Job Description

Sous Chef – 4-Day Week | Head Chef Pathway

n

Four days in the kitchen. Three days to yourself.

n

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.

n

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

n

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

n

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

n

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.

n

The role

n





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

n

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

n

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.

n

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

n

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