Stay Intrepid properties are more than just a place to stay, they're an experience. We go beyond accommodation, offering personalised service and immersive adventures that leave a lasting impact.

We’re looking for Chef's of all skill levels to join our kitchen operations and deliver what we call the Intrepid Experience—a dining journey that complements and elevates each guest’s stay, culinary style! A chance for you to show your skills and craft meals from scratch, work in a fun, dynamic team and experience the beauty of Australia first hand.



Our restaurants vary and cater from 10 to over 50 guests at a time, and these roles will be contributing to the day to day behind what makes their experience so special.

Some of the experience you’ll bring with you may include:

- Experience within a food offering operation, ideally in a luxury environment.

- Experience and knowledge in different cooking techniques, styles and procedures.

- Good time management and organisational skills, with the ability to work well under pressure.

- Ability to cater for dietaries without compromising on enjoyment.

- Ability to work as a team and to assist in all operations of the kitchen.

- A natural communicator who finds it easy to chat to guests.

- Passionate about great food, great teamwork and a great attitude

You’ll bring your excitement about food and exceptional service and thrive on being part of a team that loves a challenge, delivering an outstanding dining experience to our customers every single meal, whilst sharing our core values of integrity, innovation, fun, passion, growth, and responsibility.
