  • Collaborate closely with the Venue Manager and FOH to deliver a seamless guest experience.
  • No late-night finishes – evening service only on weekends.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience in a Head Chef or Senior Sous role in café/bistro-style venues (2–3+ years).
  • Strong leadership with a hands-on approach and high attention to detail.
  • Track record managing COGS, stock, and supplier relationships.
  • Excellent prep planning, section organisation, and service pace.
  • Availability across weekdays and weekends, including Friday & Saturday evenings.
  • Food Safety Certification required; trade qualifications highly regarded.

What We Offer

  • A supportive, community-focused ownership team.
  • Balanced roster with only two dinner services per week.
