FILLING CUPS, BELLIES & HEARTS
That’s us in a nutshell.
We want you to help us revolutionize the event experience for guests with dietary needs.
Gone are the days of one or two vegetarian meals needing to be prepared for an event. The culinary arts have grown and for those of us in Melbourne, it truly has taken the form of art. So too have the complexity of dietary and allergies a chef must consider.
Some would argue that it puts a limit on an artist. But we think some of the best work is done when there’s a challenge. And that’s where you step in. We are looking for an up-and-coming Junior Sous Chef who has a passion for food, but not just any food. Someone eager to help us create memorable food memories for guests that don’t always get that experience (surprisingly, eggplant is not always the answer).
Who are we?
Melbourne Event Group is built on the belief that people are everything. Whether it’s our guests or our own team, everyone is family. Our three core values guide us in everything we do:
• Genuine Connections
• True Professionalism
• The Extra Mile
While we could wax lyrical about ourselves, a job ad is probably not the place for it. So, if you want to know more head this way
