About the role
We are seeking a friendly Junior Chef to join our team. We offer a supportive work

outstanding plates of food with quality ingredients. An interest in sustainability would be
a great fit with our café values.
You will be preparing and cooking a limited menu of quality plated dishes for our A La

other kitchen staff on menu development, creating seasonal specials, managing food
costs and food waste, establishing and optimising work flows and maintaining excellent
food safety and hygiene standards. The Head Chef will support you with training and
skill development to help you develop your own skill set and experience. A culinary
degree is preferred.
