* Support and guide Commis Chefs and kitchen hands during busy services.
* Maintain strict food safety and hygiene standards at all times.

* Proven experience as a Chef de Partie, or 1–2 years as a Commis Chef in a fast-paced, high-quality restaurant.
* A strong team player with a positive attitude and excellent communication skills.
* The ability to work cleanly, quickly, and calmly under pressure.
* Reliable transport is essential, as we are located in Wamboin and not accessible via public transport.
