Love cooking? Hungry to learn? Ready for more than just another kitchen job?

This could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

At Little Parrot, we're looking for someone who genuinely loves food, takes pride in what they create and is excited by the opportunity to learn, experiment and grow.

We're a well-loved neighbourhood restaurant in South Cronulla, known for our seasonal menus, delicious food, warm hospitality and loyal regulars.

Our kitchen is small, which means you won't be stuck doing the same thing every shift. You'll work closely with our Head Chef, develop your skills across the kitchen and have the opportunity to bring your own creativity and ideas to the table.

And the exciting part? Your ideas could actually make it onto our menu!

What makes this opportunity different?

We believe great food comes from people who care about what they do. We're looking for someone who wants to be part of creating something special, not simply turning up for a shift.

You'll have the opportunity to:

- Learn directly from our Head Chef and continue developing your skills and confidence.
- Get creative! Contribute ideas for new dishes, specials and seasonal menus.
- Work across the whole kitchen — pasta, grill, entrées, desserts and more.
- See your contribution come to life — from an idea in the kitchen to a dish enjoyed by our guests.
- Grow with us, taking on more responsibility as your experience and confidence develop.
- Be part of a small, supportive team where your work is noticed and appreciated.

Who are we looking for? Attitude and passion matter just as much as experience.





You don't need to be a senior chef, but you do need some commercial kitchen experience and a genuine desire to become great at what you do.

We're looking for someone who:

- Loves food and cooking — and is genuinely interested in learning more.
- Is curious, creative and excited to try new things.
- Takes pride in producing beautiful, delicious food.
- Has a strong work ethic and can be relied upon.
- Is organised, efficient and calm under pressure.
- Enjoys being part of a team and contributing to a positive kitchen culture.
- Welcomes feedback and is motivated to keep improving.

Whether you're an experienced Cook wanting to develop further or an emerging Chef looking for the right environment to grow, we'd love to meet you.
