Your Day to Day

As a Chef de Partie or Demi Chef, you’ll bring passion, precision, and creativity to every plate. You’ll take pride in your workspace, uphold high standards, and contribute your culinary expertise to create memorable dining experiences for our guests.

Reporting to the Executive Chef and Executive Sous Chef, you’ll work across a variety of outlets and service styles – from à la carte dining to banquets and events – developing your skills and culinary repertoire within a professional and supportive team.

• Chef de Partie: Take ownership of your section, mentor junior team members, and ensure consistent quality and presentation in every dish.
• Demi Chef: Work closely with senior chefs, gaining hands-on experience across all areas of the kitchen, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and events.

In both roles, you’ll demonstrate strong food safety and hygiene practices, maintain exceptional service standards, and bring a genuine enthusiasm to learn, collaborate, and create.

• Excellent communication skills and attention to detail
• Enthusiasm to learn, grow, and take initiative
• Flexibility to work a rotating roster, including evenings, weekends, and public holidays
• Unrestricted working rights in Australia and a current Australian driver’s licence

A creative mindset, a strong sense of teamwork, and a genuine passion for delivering exceptional cuisine will set you apart.
