Assistant Chef

Visa sponsorship

Hospitality · Sydney, NSW, Australia · Contract · $35/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored

Fancy swapping the UK winter for a Sydney pub kitchen? A hotel there is under new ownership and is recruiting an Assistant Chef on a casual basis, looking for cooks or chefs who are enthusiastic, inventive and ambitious.

The new owners have a clear plan, with a refurbishment right across the building, more entertainment and a lively local and sports venue with food at its heart. Lunch and dinner run every day across several areas.

Shifts fall on Monday and Tuesday for lunch and dinner and on Saturday and Sunday for one of the two, with more hours as the place finds its feet. Anyone who can start straight away will be strongly favoured, and the venue may be able to offer sponsorship opportunities to the right candidate.

Employers in Australia read plenty of applications, so make yours specific. Note the commercial kitchens you have worked in, from gastropubs to hotel restaurants, plus your food hygiene practice. Polish your CV for Australia with Build AI CV.
