Who We're Looking For

n

We're not just looking for someone who can cook. We're looking for someone who is dependable, productive, team-focused and takes pride in doing their job well.

n

You'll ideally have:

n

n
- Previous experience working as a Chef or experienced Cook
n
- Experience in a busy café, restaurant, pub or similar high-volume environment
n
- Confidence working under pressure
n
- Strong food preparation and cooking skills

- Good attention to detail and presentation
n
- A strong understanding of cleanliness and food safety
n
- The ability to communicate and work well with others
n
- A positive attitude and willingness to contribute to the team
n
- Reliable availability across weekdays and weekends




n
- The ability to start immediately or within a short timeframe
n

n

Formal chef qualifications are highly regarded, however experienced cooks with strong practical ability are also encouraged to apply.

n

We value attitude, reliability and capability just as highly as what is written on a piece of paper.

n

The Hours

n

These are full-time positions involving a mixture of day shifts + early evening shifts

n

Aquavue is not a late-night restaurant, meaning you can work full-time in hospitality without regularly sacrificing your entire evening.

n

Weekend availability is required due to the nature of the industry, however our operating style allows our kitchen team to maintain a much healthier balance than many traditional hospitality venues.

n

About Aquavue

n

We are a busy and continually evolving business serving locals and visitors across breakfast, lunch and early dinner, alongside events, functions and takeaway offerings.

n

We care about providing a great experience for our customers, but equally, we believe a strong business starts with a robust team.

n

That means maintaining high standards while creating an environment where people are treated with respect, held accountable, encouraged to grow and supported to perform at their best.

n

We're continuing to strengthen our kitchen operation and are looking for two great people who want to become an important part of what we're building.

n

Ready for a Change?

n

If you're an experienced Chef or Cook looking for full-time stability, great hours, a beachfront workplace, a healthier team culture and no late-night finishes, we'd love to hear from you.

n

We have two positions available and are looking to appoint as soon as possible.

n

Immediate starts available for the right candidates.
