An experienced Head Chef, or a talented Sous Chef ready to step up.

Brunch is your thing. You know how to turn great ingredients into a memorable plate, keep a busy service running smoothly and bring out the best in the people around you.

At Charlotte Group, we’re looking for a chef to help shape an elevated café experience across our venues. Someone who cares about flavour, presentation and the details that make customers come back.

You might already be an experienced Brunch Head Chef looking for creative scope and a fresh challenge. Or you might be a strong Sous Chef with solid café experience, ready for your first Head Chef role with guidance and support from our senior management team.

We’re open to both. What matters is your experience, your approach and your passion for great food.

HEAD CHEF — BRUNCH & ELEVATED CAFÉ DINING

Charlotte Group | Full-time | Daytime hours — no nights

Brunch is your thing. You know how to turn outstanding ingredients into a memorable plate, keep a busy service running smoothly and bring out the best in the people around you.

At Charlotte Group, we’re looking for a chef to help shape an elevated café experience across our venues. Someone who cares about flavour, presentation and the details that make customers come back.

You might already be an experienced Brunch Head Chef looking for creative scope and a fresh challenge. Or you might be a strong Sous Chef with solid café experience, ready for your first Head Chef role with guidance and support from our senior management team.

We’re open to both. What matters is your experience, your approach and your passion for great food.

The food

Seasonal ingredients. Bold flavours. Thoughtful presentation. Familiar favourites with a fresh perspective.

We want to create brunch menus that are exciting to cook and a pleasure to eat, with dishes that work just as well during a full Sunday service as they do at the tasting table.





You’ll have the opportunity to contribute ideas, develop signature dishes and put your stamp on our breakfast and lunch offering.

The role

This is a hands‑on leadership role combining creative menu development with the practical skills needed to run excellent kitchens.

- Create and refine seasonal breakfast, brunch and lunch menus.
- Lead by example during service, maintaining quality, pace and consistency.
- Train and support our chefs and cooks, building their skills and confidence.
- Develop clear recipes, prep systems and plating standards across venues.
- Manage ordering, stock, food costs and waste.
- Maintain strong food safety and kitchen organisation standards.
- Work closely with our senior management team to improve our food offering and kitchen operations.

About you

You have a strong background in busy, quality brunch kitchens and a clear understanding of what makes an elevated café experience.

You’re either:

- An experienced Head Chef ready to bring your ideas and leadership to an established café group; or
- A talented Sous Chef ready to take the next step, with support as you grow into the responsibilities of a Head Chef.

You care about the food you send out and the team you work with. You’re organised, calm under pressure and comfortable getting stuck into service. You understand that great menus need both creativity and sound commercial thinking.

Above all, you take pride in delivering consistently excellent food.

What we offer

- Daytime hours, with no night service.
- Creative input into our menus and the opportunity to develop dishes of your own.
- Support from an experienced senior management team.
- Guidance as you step into the role, with room to build confidence and grow as a leader.
- Career development within an established café group across Sydney and Wollongong.
- A competitive salary reflecting your experience and capabilities.

Bring your experience, your ideas and your ambition. Let’s create something worth coming back for.
