About the Venue:

The Lakes Hotel is a premium coastal dining and entertainment destination set on the picturesque shores of The Entrance, NSW. Known for its stunning waterfront views, modern and welcoming design, and vibrant dining experiences, the venue offers a mix of casual and fine dining, function spaces, and a relaxed bar atmosphere. With a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, The Lakes is committed to delivering memorable dining experiences for both locals and visitors.

About the Roles:

We are seeking talented and motivated Senior Sous Chef and Sous Chef professionals to join our culinary leadership team at The Lakes Hotel.

The Sous Chef role requires prior experience at this level, with proven ability to supervise the kitchen in the absence of senior management, lead a section, support kitchen operations, and maintain high food quality.

The Senior Sous Chef role is a perfect step up for an experienced Sous Chef ready to take on broader responsibility and leadership within a fast-paced, high-volume venue.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and oversee kitchen operations and ensure consistent food quality
  • Support menu development and execution
  • Mentor and guide junior chefs and kitchen staff
  • Maintain high standards of hygiene, presentation, and safety
  • Assist in stock control, ordering, and cost management

About You:

  • Proven experience as a Sous Chef (Senior Sous Chef applicants will have extensive Sous Chef experience)
  • Strong leadership and team supervision skills
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
  • Passion for coastal-inspired cuisine and attention to detail
  • Full working rights in Australia required (sponsorship not available at this stage)

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary
  • Career development opportunities within Oscars Group
  • Supportive, dynamic team environment
  • Internal/external training and mentoring
  • Discounts on food & beverage across 45+ venues
