Byron Bay NSW, Australia Three Blue Ducks Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

We're on the hunt for a passionate Sous Chef to join our crew at Three Blue Ducks Byron Bay - perched on an 80-acre working farm with stunning views of the hinterland and Byron's iconic lighthouse. It's a pretty special place to work, and we like to think we've built a team that's just as great.

We're a tight-knit kitchen that values creativity, hard work, and good banter. We're serious about the food we serve - local, seasonal, and thoughtful - but we don't take ourselves too seriously. It's all about teamwork, good energy, and making sure everyone feels part of the family.

A bit about the role:
As a Sous Chef, you'll be backing up our Head Chef and helping lead the team across daily service and events. Think high-volume à la carte, epic long lunches, and the odd wedding thrown in. You'll be expected to bring some solid skills, a calm head, and a genuine love of cooking.

What you'll be doing:

  • Helping create menus we're proud to put our name to

  • Supporting the team and stepping up when the Head Chef isn't around

  • Keeping service smooth and standards high

  • Staying on top of stock, ordering, and kitchen systems

  • Creating a positive, supportive kitchen culture

What we're looking for:

  • Previous experience in a similar role (ideally somewhere busy)

  • A love of fresh, seasonal food and smart cooking

  • Strong leadership skills and a good dose of patience

  • A clear understanding of food safety and kitchen operations

  • Willingness to work weekends and get stuck in when it's busy

What you'll get in return:

  • A respected, well-run venue with systems and support

  • Opportunities to grow within the Ducks (we've got venues in Melbourne, Bellingen, Nimbo & beyond)

  • Solid tips and staff discounts across all our restaurants

  • A genuinely good crew to work with

  • Ongoing training and development if you're keen to grow with us

If you're passionate about food, love working in a team, and want to be part of something special in Byron Bay, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and let's have a chat.

Three Blue Ducks is an inclusive workplace - we welcome everyone and encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
