Head Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Brisbane, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
Every good kitchen has one person who sets the tone. A casual dining venue in Brisbane wants that person as its Head Chef, someone who leads from the pass and holds the line on quality.
Your week would mix cooking and leading. You guide the crew through prep and service, use a range of cooking methods, check portions and keep plates looking right. Ordering, storage and stock are yours to manage, as is HACCP and food safety. Fresh menu ideas are welcome, and so is a team culture built on accountability. Shifts fall across seven days, evenings, weekends and public holidays included.
Sponsorship may be available for an eligible candidate who meets the applicable requirements.
On your CV, set out your commercial cookery certificate, your time running a pass as Head Chef or senior Sous Chef and the food safety systems you have kept, with referees ready. You can organise a Brisbane casual-dining head chef CV with Build AI CV.
