  • Lead and mentor junior chefs, fostering a positive team environment
  • Maintain exceptional food safety, hygiene, and compliance standards
  • Contribute to menu development and seasonal innovation
  • Manage stock control, minimise waste, and support cost efficiency
  • Ensure your section runs smoothly, even under pressure


What You’ll Bring

  • 2–3 years’ experience as a Chef de Partie in a fast-paced kitchen
  • A relevant culinary qualification
  • Strong technical cooking skills and a creative flair
  • A passion for quality, presentation, and consistency
  • Excellent time management and the ability to perform under pressure
  • A collaborative, calm, and solutions-focused mindset
  • Solid understanding of food safety and industry best practices


Why Join Us?

  • Guaranteed 24 hours per week with competitive pay ($28.71 per hour)
  • Free staff parking when on shift
  • Career development opportunities across a global hotel group
  • Supportive team culture that values growth and collaboration
  • Great staff benefits , including:
    • Meals on duty
    • Accommodation and F&B discounts
    • Uniform and laundry provided
  • Be part of a hotel brand recognised for delivering quality guest experiences
