Casual Chef | The Corner Dairy

20–30 hours per week | Wednesday – Sunday | Level 4 HIGA Award Rates

We're looking for a Casual Chef to join the kitchen team at The Corner Dairy.

We're a popular neighbourhood bar in Doubleview, known for valuable food, good drinks and a pretty good bunch of people behind the scenes. Our menu is seasonal, produce-driven and designed around sharing, with a focus on local ingredients, seafood and dishes that suit a good drink and a long afternoon with friends.

We're after someone who enjoys cooking good food, takes pride in what leaves the pass and understands that a great kitchen is as much about the people working in it as it is about what's on the plate.

What you'll be getting up to:

- Preparing and cooking across our changing seasonal menu.
- Keeping on top of prep, service and daily kitchen organisation.
- Maintaining a clean, organised and well-run section.
- Working alongside the Head Chef and the rest of the kitchen team.
- Contributing ideas and getting involved as the menu evolves.
- Keeping food quality and consistency where they need to be, even when things get busy.

What we're looking for:

- Previous experience in a professional kitchen.
- A good understanding of kitchen operations, food safety and preparation.
- Someone organised,



reliable and comfortable working independently.
- A genuine interest in good produce and cooking food properly.
- Someone who gets along with others, communicates well and brings a good attitude to work.
- The ability to hold their own during a busy service without bringing unnecessary drama along for the ride.

A little about the job:

- Casual position, approximately 20–30 hours per week.
- Wednesday to Sunday availability.
- Level 4 HIGA Award rates of pay.
- A supportive kitchen team with an experienced Head Chef.
- A rotating menu that gives you the opportunity to work with different ingredients and techniques.

And the good stuff:

- Staff meals while you're on shift.
- Discounts on food and drinks at The Corner Dairy.
- A genuinely good team and a workplace where people enjoy coming to work.
- Regular opportunities to get involved with new menus, specials and events.
- A neighbourhood venue with a loyal local following and a bit of personality.

If you're a solid chef who enjoys being part of a good team, takes pride in their work and wants to cook interesting food without taking themselves too seriously, we'd love to hear from you. Send through your resume and a little about yourself. We'd love to meet you.
