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 Set on the iconic Northern Beaches, this much-loved beachside venue has been a community cornerstone for years — where locals come for their morning coffee, long lunches, coastal dinners, and unforgettable celebrations. The entire venue was recently rebuilt, and the kitchen features brand new equipment throughout. It’s a high-volume operation that runs with clarity and calm: breakfast, lunch, dinner, plus a thriving functions trade. And with summer just around the corner, the energy is only building. 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 Jump into service wherever needed — grill, pass, or prep Help shape seasonal menus with your own creative input Uphold consistent kitchen standards and systems What You Bring 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 An understanding of modern kitchen systems and standards 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 is more than just a job — it’s a chance to grow with people who genuinely care about what they’re building. The kitchen is tight-knit, the leadership is hands-on and supportive, and there’s room to develop into more senior roles as the group expands. If you're someone who thrives in an environment where your ideas are heard and your energy makes a difference, this could be the next step that sets your career on a new path.
