Chef de Partie
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Melbourne, VIC, Australia · Full-Time · $70,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Fancy swapping the UK winter for a French kitchen on the Victorian coast? A bistrot and wine bar in a seaside town in the Melbourne region is recruiting a Chef de Partie to look after a section and work hand in glove with the Head Chef.
It is proper bistrot cooking, rooted in classical French technique, with good local produce, hearty flavours and dishes that are cooked well and sent out with care. Front of house is relaxed and welcoming, and the brigade is small and friendly.
The role is full-time, and the employer is flexible about the contract arrangements. Sponsorship is worth understanding here: it is described as a potential step for the right applicant after 18 months in the role, subject to eligibility and applicable immigration requirements, rather than something offered on arrival.
Get your CV in shape before you apply, with each kitchen, the sections you ran and any French or bistrot work clearly set out. Pull your brigade CV together with Build AI CV.
