Sports Garden Hotel is seeking applications for a Sous Chef role at the venue. We are looking for qualified chef to help the HC lead & oversee BOH operations in a high volume kitchen. As we head further into the busy summer period of events there is a great opportunity to take on this role & lead the team into the year.
Sports Garden is located in a great position in the city close to UTAS Stadium, Albert Hall & multiple large businesses in the area.
