Job description

The Trustee for KING KEBAB HOUSE TRUST – Campbelltown NSW

Experienced Turkish Chef Wanted for a Busy, Established Restaurant

About Us

Since 2015, King Kebab House has been a Queen Street favourite. We're a lively, family-run Turkish restaurant where the grill is always going, fresh pide comes out of the oven all day, and we're busy from morning until late. People travel from all over Sydney to eat with us.

Why we're hiring

Our kitchen has grown faster than one person can handle. Our head chef can no longer keep up with the workload, so we're looking for two experienced Chefs to take over the running of the kitchen. You'll be someone the team can rely on, and someone who can keep the whole restaurant moving when the owner isn't there.

What your days look like

You’ll cook, and you’ll lead. You’ll make sure every plate that leaves the kitchen is right. You’ll train and guide our cooks and kitchen hands, show them how we do things, and keep service calm when the orders pile up on a Friday night.

Behind the scenes, you’ll write the weekly rosters and place orders with our suppliers. You’ll check deliveries and keep an eye on stock, waste and costs. You’ll also help shape the menu and specials, keep our recipes consistent, and make sure food safety and hygiene are never compromised.

You’ll need to be confident with

• Pide and lahmacun: dough, toppings and oven work
• Adana and shish kebabs on the grill
• Doner: preparing, marinating and stacking
• Wraps, made fast and made right
• Classic Turkish dips and meze
• Traditional Turkish soups such as mercimek and ezogelin

About you

• Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery or higher
• Proven experience working as a Chef in a Turkish kitchen (essential)
• Experience leading a team in a busy, high-volume kitchen
• Organised, so rosters, ordering and stock control don’t scare you
• Happy to work rotating shifts across mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays
• Flexible to work overtime when the restaurant needs it

Location (please read)

Both roles are on‑site at King Kebab House, Shop 2, 171–179 Queen Street, Campbelltown NSW 2560. You must currently live in Australia and be able to travel to Campbelltown for early, late and weekend shifts. Applications from overseas will not be considered.

What we offer

• $80,000 – $85,000 per year plus superannuation, depending on experience
• All overtime paid
• Ongoing full‑time work and a close‑knit team
• A kitchen where your cooking will be noticed by a lot of very loyal customers
