We're looking for an experienced Tournant Head Chef to join Australian Venue Co in Perth and bring their leadership, energy and kitchen expertise across some of our venues South of the River, including the Applecross area.
This isn't your typical Head Chef role. As a Tournant Head Chef, you'll have the opportunity to work across different kitchens, teams and styles of operation -stepping in where your experience is needed and helping our venues deliver great food and great service.
From busy pubs and waterfront venues to large-scale functions and high-volume services, no two days will look exactly the same.

Supporting Head Chefs and kitchen teams across multiple venues
Stepping into leadership roles during leave, vacancies and periods of high demand
Maintaining strong food quality, presentation and consistency
Leading services and keeping the kitchen running smoothly
Coaching, supporting and developing kitchen teams
Helping venues with menu execution, prep, stock and kitchen organisation
Maintaining food safety and kitchen compliance standards
Bringing a positive, hands‐on approach to every kitchen you work in
Helping identify opportunities to improve kitchen operations and team performance
What we're looking for
You'll be an experienced Head Chef, Sous Chef or senior kitchen leader who is confident stepping into different environments and getting stuck in.




We're looking for someone who:
Is confident leading a team and running busy services
Can adapt quickly to different kitchens, menus and teams
Has excellent organisation and communication skills
Leads by example and brings a calm, positive approach
Takes pride in food quality and kitchen standards
Enjoys developing people and helping teams succeed
Has a genuine passion for hospitality and isn't afraid to get hands‐on
Has a reliable car and valid driver's license
Flexibility and a willingness to travel between South-of-the-River venues is essential.
At Australian Venue Co, you'll get exposure to a huge variety of hospitality operations and the opportunity to build your career across our growing venue network.
You'll also get:
240+ venues across Australia and Current Zealand
Staff discounts across our venues
Career progression and development opportunities
Access to our Advance program
Opportunities to move between venues and locations
A supportive network of chefs and hospitality leaders
Training and development to help you keep building your career
If you're an experienced kitchen leader who thrives on variety, enjoys solving problems and wants a role where you can make an impact across multiple venues, we want to hear from you.
