Job description

CASUAL CHEFS | PASS TO SUMMER MADNESS & MAJOR EVENTS | IMMEDIATE START

Melbourne’s Summer madness is officially here, and the city’s culinary scene is shifting into top gear!

From high-end corporate marquees and VIP suites to the high-stakes pressure of the Australian Open Tennis and the Formula 1 Grand Prix, the demand for sharp, trade-qualified chefs has reached peak levels. Hotelstaff is issuing you an all-access pass to Melbourne’s best venues and highest-paying casual rosters!

Whether you're looking for extra high-yield shifts, complete roster control around your existing commitments, or the chance to flex your skills at high-profile major events, now is the time to jump on board.

Hotelstaff is Melbourne’s original hospitality agency. With 40+ years of experience and 10K+ client companies, we connect elite talent with the best venues across Melbourne. We got smaller on purpose to protect our standards—and now we’re bringing back the depth of great talent the industry has been missing.

What’s In It For You?

Above-Award Pay: Great hourly rates (min. $43 per hour) + penalties + superannuation + opportunities for overtime.

Your All-Access Pass: Access high-demand, flexible rosters across high-end Summer functions, the Australian Open, Grand Prix event precincts, and much more!

Weekly Pay & Support: Reliable weekly pay and full support from our experienced agency team that truly understands kitchens.

Top-Tier Kitchens: Work in leading hotels and high-profile major events across Melbourne.

Trade-qualified, with a minimum of 5 years’ experience in fast-paced kitchens.

Experienced in fine dining (highly regarded).

Confident with kitchen operations and committed to food safety best practices.

Adaptable, reliable, professional, with a strong work ethic.

Ready to embrace the high-volume Australian Open and Grand Prix season.

What You Need to Apply

Living in Victoria with full Australian working rights.

Ability to work in fast-paced commercial environments.

Flexibility to work varied shifts at different locations around Melbourne.

Police Check and Working With Children Check preferable but not mandatory.

Secure your spot on the roster and get ready for an unforgettable summer in the kitchen!
