Commis Chef

Visa sponsorship

Hospitality · Christchurch, New Zealand · Full-Time · $26 - $30/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored

A hotel in Christchurch needs a commis chef. Its café, bar and restaurant are busy, and the kitchen team is professional and supportive.

The Head Chef will teach the new cook directly. The job has no end date and is full-time, with at least 30 hours a week across afternoons, evenings and weekends.

From Kampala to Christchurch is a big step, and the employer has visa support available for the right candidate. Applicants need earlier experience in a commercial kitchen.
