Working in our busy, modern-cuisine restaurant, you will contribute to a high-performing team across lunch and dinner service periods on a 7-day rotating roster, including days, nights and weekends.

This is not a traditional back-of-house role. Whilst you are required to work across all stations in the kitchen the emphasis of this role is in our wok and pizza section. Our wok and pizza stations are customer-facing, giving you the opportunity to interact directly with members during service. Strong communication skills, a friendly personality, and a genuine passion for hospitality are essential, as member engagement is a key part of the experience we deliver.

In addition to daily operations serving up to 600 diners per night, our catering department supports the Functions Team by delivering catering services for large-scale events of up to 700 attendees.

About the role:

- Leadership capabilities with the ability to motivate, mentor and guide our kitchen staff
- Assist in planning menus, estimating food costs and ordering food supplies
- Monitoring quality of dishes at all stages of preparation and presentation
- Demonstrating techniques and advising on cooking procedures
- Ability to work autonomously and own your section
- The ability to engage positively with colleagues, management, and guests




- Flexibility to work across bistro and functions kitchens
- Strong attention to detail, with the ability to identify issues and proactively solve problems
- A commitment to safe and hygienic kitchen practices and understanding of WHS practices

What we're looking for:

- Proven experience (minimum 2 years) across all sections of the kitchen with a focus on running wok and pizza sections in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen
- Minimum 2 year's experience as a Chef de Partie including leading and supporting junior kitchen team members
- Trade qualifications in Commercial Cookery from a recognised institution (Cert IV or equivalent)
- Ability to maintain exceptional food quality, presentation, and consistency under pressure
- Strong communication and customer service skills
- Commitment to food safety, hygiene, and workplace standards
- Experience in a club or hotel kitchen is desirable
- Experience in preparation and delivery of function events

What we offer:

- Ongoing training and development opportunities
- Supportive and qualified team culture
- The opportunity to showcase your skills in a dynamic, member-focused environment

If you're an experienced chef who thrives in a high-volume service environment and enjoys engaging with customers while delivering exceptional food, we'd love to hear from you.
