Visa sponsorship

Hospitality · Sydney, NSW, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored

No fluff here. This Sous Chef job in Sydney, NSW suits a chef who can handle a slammed kitchen and still lead people. A high-volume restaurant and pub needs a cook who backs the Head Chef, keeps a young crew sharp and runs the show on the Head Chef's days off.

You would handle orders, rosters and food safety, keep an eye on every plate, and help hold food and labour spending in line with budget. You also get a say in seasonal menus. The employer mentions a route to sponsorship for the right candidate, which matters if you are planning a move from Mzansi.
