Sous Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Gold Coast, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · $80,000 - $85,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Is running a hot line at full tilt second nature to you? A café on the Gold Coast with a high-volume kitchen wants a Sous Chef to share the leadership with its Head Chef and another Sous Chef. No hype here, just a solid kitchen management job.
Expect to lead busy services, set up prep and sections, train the crew and keep standards tight on quality and food safety. If you are a senior chef who has supervised and wants the sous title, this is aimed at you too. Weekends are part of the deal.
The employer is willing to consider sponsorship for the right person, who needs experience in a similar role and must pass a 6-month probation period.
Mzansi chefs, get your paperwork straight first. Put together a Gold Coast café sous chef CV on Build AI CV, listing the kitchens you have run, how many cooks you managed and any food safety certificates.
