Sous Chef
Hospitality · Clarence Park, Adelaide SA, Australia · Full-Time · $70,000 - $80,000/yr
Most kitchen jobs mean late nights. This one does not. Most shifts end around 3:30pm. The roster is 38 hours across five days, built mainly around the morning and lunchtime trade.
The venue is a lively, fresh food business in Clarence Park, Adelaide. It sells a distinctive deli, café and sandwich-style range, so you get variety and space for creative ideas.
Who are they after? An experienced Chef de Partie, or a Sous Chef still early in the role, who wants more responsibility. You will be hands-on and work alongside the Head Chef. Sometimes you will lead the kitchen yourself and decide things during service.
