About Sweet Belem

Sweet Belem is a modern Portuguese pastry brand. We combine traditional technique with a calm, contemporary service style. Our Barangaroo site is a compact flagship store focused on quality, consistency, and a respectful kitchen culture.

We're not a big corporate group.

We're hands-on owners building something special — carefully, not chaotically.

The Role

As a Kitchenhand at Sweet Belem Barangaroo, you'll support our pastry and kitchen teams by keeping the workspace clean, organised and running smoothly during daytime production and service.

Working roughly between 9:00am and 5:00pm, you'll be an essential part of the team — helping our chefs and bakers focus on producing quality product by handling washing, prep support, stock rotation and general kitchen upkeep.

This role suits someone reliable, hands-on and happy to keep things moving in a small, tight-knit kitchen.

date and store ingredients
Take out rubbish and maintain general cleanliness of the site
Follow food-safety, hygiene and workplace-safety procedures
Support the team during busy periods

What We're Looking For
Previous kitchenhand, dishwashing or hospitality experience is a plus but not essential
A solid work ethic and willingness to get stuck in
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, small team environment
Reliable, punctual and able to work daytime hours
Good communication and teamwork skills
Basic understanding of food safety and hygiene (or willingness to learn)

What We Offer
Consistent daytime hours, roughly 9:00am–5:00pm
Predictable rosters published in advance
Supportive, respectful kitchen culture
Prospect to grow with a young brand
