My Little Kitchen Cafe & Bar | Healesville, Victoria

After almost 8 years, we’re excited to be opening our kitchen up to a new Head Chef!

Who we are:

My Little Kitchen is a premium, go-to brunch venue in the heart of Healesville. We take classic brunch favourites and give them a creative twist, combining seasonal, fresh ingredients with both classic and modern cooking techniques to produce fun, vibrant dishes.

Owned by Ben and Danielle, we’ve built a welcoming, relaxed environment for our customers and staff alike. We believe in good food, good people and creating an experience that keeps our customers coming back.

The role:

We’re looking for an experienced, passionate and hands-on Head Chef to take the lead in our busy kitchen.

This is an opportunity to put your stamp on an established menu, bring fresh ideas to the table and lead a kitchen team that takes pride in what they do.

You’ll oversee all aspects of the kitchen, including menu planning, food preparation, ordering, stock management, cleaning schedules, maintenance, training and day-to-day operations. Just as importantly, you’ll help nurture and develop our junior kitchen team as they grow in their roles.

What we’re looking for:

- At least 5 years’ experience in a Head Chef or similar kitchen leadership role.

- A genuine love for food, cooking and hospitality.





- A hands-on approach — you’re happy to lead from the front and get stuck in.

- An eye for detail that extends beyond presentation to every aspect of kitchen operations.

- Solid communication skills and the ability to give and receive feedback constructively.

- The ability to manage a busy service while maintaining high standards of food quality and consistency.

- Confidence with menu development, ordering, stock control and kitchen organisation.

- A willingness to mentor, train and support junior team members.

- A positive attitude, strong work ethic and a team-first mentality.

The practical stuff:

- Full-time, hands-on leadership role.

- Five days per week, including Saturdays and Sundays.

- Early starts are part of the job, with shifts generally running from 6:30 am to 3:00 pm.

- A busy brunch-focused kitchen where weekends are our bread and butter.

- Remuneration, superannuation and other entitlements in line with the applicable award and your experience.

- This role is best suited to a chef who enjoys being involved in every part of the kitchen, takes ownership of their work and wants to be part of a close-knit team.

Ready for your next challenge?

If you love creating great food, leading a team and being part of a venue with a strong local following, we’d love to hear from you.

Come and make your mark at My Little Kitchen!
