Head Chef

Visa sponsorship

Hospitality · Sydney, NSW, Australia · Full-Time · $85,000 - $110,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored

Sydney's eastern beaches are getting a 90-seat neighbourhood bar built around steak and seafood, and its owners are looking for an experienced, creative Head Chef to run the kitchen from the launch. It is an open kitchen in a casual, lively beachside setting.

Because the launch menu of grilled steaks, seafood and house-made sauces is still being finalised, the successful Head Chef will shape it. Visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate.

Applicants who answer the requirements directly give themselves the clearest chance of being understood.

Ugandan chefs, including those from Kampala or Entebbe hotel kitchens with DIT-certified training, should name the menus, brigades and supplier relationships they have managed on the CV. Use Build AI CV for a clear chef CV.
