The Opportunity
This isn't your average second-in-command role. It's a chance to join a kitchen where your input truly matters — to work under a leadership team that believes in nurturing creativity, autonomy, and passion. As Sous Chef, you'll be more than just support — you'll be shaping the heart of the kitchen, influencing menus, mentoring a close-knit team, and helping build something that locals already love and visitors talk about long after summer ends.
The Venue
Located on the iconic Northern Beaches, this well-loved beachside venue has long served as a central gathering place for the community, where locals stop in for morning coffee, relaxed long lunches, coastal dinners, and memorable celebrations. The entire venue has recently been rebuilt, and the kitchen is fitted with completely new equipment from end to end. It operates as a high-volume, well-organised business that maintains clarity and calm across breakfast, lunch, and dinner service, along with a strong functions trade. With summer approaching, the pace is increasing and the atmosphere continues to build.
Your Role
You'll work closely with the Head Chef to:
Lead day-to-day kitchen operations with clarity and calm
Maintain quality across breakfast, lunch, dinner, and events
Mentor junior team members and contribute to a supportive culture

Uphold consistent kitchen standards and systems

A natural leadership style — approachable, professional, and motivating
High-volume experience with an eye for detail
A collaborative mindset — someone who thrives as part of a team
A willingness to evolve and grow within a progressive venue

The Package
Up to $90K + Super for the right candidate
Sponsorship available
Two consecutive days off weekly
Balanced roster built on respect for work-life balance
Owners who are involved, present, and back their chefs
A beachside location that's hard to beat
Why This Role Matters
This role is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to grow alongside a team that genuinely cares about what they are creating. The kitchen is close-knit, leadership is hands-on and supportive, and there is clear potential to progress into more senior positions as the group continues to expand. If you thrive in an environment where your ideas are valued and your energy drives real impact, this could be the next step to take your career to a new level.
