Tweed Heads, New South Wales, Australia The Bread Social Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Position: Prep Chef – Savoury

Location: Tweed Heads

About Us

At Bread Social, we're known for our commitment to crafting high-quality baked goods and savoury items using the finest Australian-sourced and locally grown produce. With a loyal following and a strong community presence, our focus is on consistency, flavour, and innovation. We're now looking for a passionate Prep Chef to join our team at Tweed Heads — someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and has a genuine passion for quality food.

The Role

This role centres around large-batch production, where consistency, efficiency, and creativity are key. Think prepping and cooking premium ingredients for our savoury range — sandwiches, pies, sausage rolls, and more — with an artisan approach to every batch, rather than a la carte plating.

We're looking for someone who thrives in organised, production-style kitchens, and is passionate about great food & flavours.

Key Responsibilities

  • Produce high-volume savoury items with care, consistency, and attention to detail
  • Prep and cook ingredients to support our savoury range (sandwiches, sausage rolls, pies, etc.)
  • Collaborate on the development of new menu items, with a focus on seasonality and local produce
  • Maintain high standards of quality, presentation, and food safety
  • Train and support junior team members
  • Ensure daily production targets are met efficiently and with minimal waste
  • Communicate with both Bread Social sites to manage product levels and stock flow
  • Maintain a clean, organised, and positive kitchen environment

What We're Looking For

  • Minimum 1 years' experience in a commercial kitchen
  • Experience in large-batch or prep-heavy kitchens is a plus
  • Strong organisational and communication skills
  • A genuine passion for quality, seasonal produce and artisanal food
  • Leadership experience and the ability to support junior team members
  • Ability to work efficiently under pressure and meet daily production goals

Why Join The Bread Social?

  • Be part of a passionate, close-knit team focused on quality and creativity
  • Work with the best Australian and local ingredients
  • Enjoy a stable, daytime production kitchen environment – no late nights
  • Opportunity to grow within a well-respected, values-driven business
