Cooks Hill New South Wales, Australia Monella Gelato Full time $40,000 - $80,000 per year
Gelato Chef – Artisan Production & Kitchen Leadership

Contract | Approx. 30+ hours per week | $40/hr (ABN required)

Join our team at Monella, where craftsmanship meets devotion, and every creation is made with precision, beauty, and soul.

We're seeking a dedicated, grounded chef who moves with care, takes pride in the details, and finds joy in creating food made with integrity. You don't need prior gelato experience, we'll teach you the art, but you'll need a steady hand, strong kitchen experience, and a deep respect for real, quality ingredients.

This is more than a kitchen role, it's a craft. A space where patience, artistry, and consistency meet heart.


About the Role

You'll lead the daily creation of our artisan gelato, cakes, and kitchen prep, ensuring every batch embodies Monella's signature high standards of quality. You'll manage ordering, stock rotation, and uphold the quiet discipline and rhythm that define our kitchen.

Your responsibilities include:

  • Daily gelato and cake production (training provided)
  • Managing ordering, stock, and prep schedules
  • Maintaining a clean, organised, and harmonious kitchen
  • Ensuring all products are made on time and to exceptional standards
  • Working collaboratively with the owner and front-of-house team

Approx. 30+ hours per week (typically 6 hours per day, 5 days a week) - with flexibility during summer peaks.


Our Food Philosophy

At Monella, we believe food should be real, made from scratch, with care and consciousness.

Every batch of gelato is hand-crafted using pure, high-quality ingredients - real milk, cream, nuts, fruits, and couverture chocolate.

Our commitment to authenticity and ingredient integrity is at the heart of everything we do. This is food made honestly, with reverence for the process and respect for those who enjoy it.


About You

You bring skill, steadiness, and pride to your craft. You love a clean space, a clear plan, and work that feels purposeful and precise.

  • Experienced chef, cook, or pastry chef (2+ years preferred)
  • Dependable, detail-oriented, and self-motivated
  • Organised, clean, and calm under pressure
  • Appreciates high-quality ingredients and intentional production
  • Able to work independently and communicate clearly
  • Physically fit, as some lifting is required
  • Baking or chocolate experience is a plus

Growth & Opportunity

Monella is entering an exciting stage of expansion, with new stores planned in the near future. For the right person, this role offers space to grow, whether into kitchen leadership or production oversight across multiple locations.


Details
  • Contract position – ABN required
  • $40 per hour (you'll manage your own tax and super)
  • Located in Cooks Hill, NSW

If you're someone who finds beauty in the details, rhythm in routine, and pride in quiet mastery, we'd love to hear from you
