Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Hastings People Full time $70,000 - $120,000 per year

Hastings People is partnered with a progressive hospitality group renowned for revitalising iconic venues and delivering memorable food and beverage experiences across Australia. 

The Client is seeking a Head Chef in their venue in Far North Queensland, just outside Port Douglas, known for its friendly atmosphere, great food, and role as a true local gathering spot. The role will lead the kitchen and deliver high-quality, authentic pub dining to the community and visitors alike.

About the Role

This is a hands-on leadership position where you will take full ownership of the kitchen operations. You'll create seasonal menus that celebrate quality produce, oversee day-to-day service, manage costs and suppliers, and develop a strong kitchen team culture.

As part of the leadership team, you will collaborate with the Venue Manager to ensure the food offering supports the venue's reputation as a vibrant, welcoming hub for locals and travellers.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and inspire the kitchen team, ensuring a consistently high standard of food.
  • Design, cost, and implement menus that suit a regional community pub and seasonal produce availability.
  • Oversee ordering, stock control, and supplier relationships to achieve food cost targets.
  • Maintain a safe, clean, and compliant kitchen environment, upholding all Food Safety and OHS standards.
  • Train and mentor junior chefs and kitchen staff, fostering a positive and motivated culture.
  • Work closely with venue management to support events, functions, and community activities.

Requirements:

  • Proven experience as a Head Chef (or strong Sous Chef ready to step up) in a busy pub, hotel, or regional dining venue.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to build, train, and motivate a team.
  • Sound financial understanding, particularly in menu costing, stock management, and achieving wage/COGS targets.
  • Passion for community hospitality, with a hands-on and approachable style.
  • Excellent knowledge of Food Safety and OHS compliance.
  • Flexibility, creativity, and the drive to deliver a memorable dining experience.

What The Role Offers:

  • A leadership role in a well-loved regional Queensland pub.
  • On-site accommodation included in the package (apartment).
  • Competitive remuneration, with the chance to make your mark on the food offering.
  • An opportunity to live and work in beautiful Far North Queensland, just a short drive to Port Douglas and the Daintree.
