An exciting opportunity has become available for a Head Chef to lead the kitchen of one of the South Coast's most talked-about modern Middle Eastern restaurants.

The business started life as a hugely successful food truck before opening its restaurant almost three years ago. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength and is now preparing for its next chapter, including expanding the venue and exploring catering, wholesale and retail opportunities.
You'll play a key role in shaping what comes next.

• Tuesday to Saturday roster
• Around 40 hours per week
• Spend your days off enjoying some of NSW's best beaches, wineries, cafés and coastal lifestyle
• Live inMollymook, Milton, Ulladulla, Batemans Bay, Nowra or surrounds

If you're looking to escape the city, take ownership of a growing kitchen and become part of one of the South Coast's most exciting food stories, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll bring

• Experience within Middle Eastern cuisine is essential
• Strong foundations in people leadership, training and development
• Stock control, ordering and kitchen organisation
• A passion for maintaining high standards of cleanliness and consistency
• Exposure to costing and COGs is ideal, but can absolutely be developed for the right person
• Someone who enjoys working closely with both the kitchen and front-of-house teams

This is a collaborative, hands-on environment where everyone pitches in and genuinely enjoys working together.

Open to candidates requiring future sponsorship, including visa transfers and new employer nominations for the right person.
