Head Chef

Visa sponsorship

Hospitality · Sydney, NSW, Australia · Full-Time · $85,000 - $110,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored

Here is a straight offer for a chef who has already run the pass: a new 90-seat neighbourhood bar in Sydney, NSW wants a Head Chef to get its kitchen open and keep it firing. The menu leans on steak and seafood.

The kitchen is open to the floor, the bar is lively and the vibe is casual and beachside. Nothing on the launch menu is final yet, so you would help decide how the grill, the seafood and the house sauces come together. There is real room to put your stamp on it. Visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
