Chef

Onshore applicants only

Visa sponsorship

Hospitality · Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia · Contract · $35.15 - $49.21/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored · Applicants: Onshore applicants only

For a chef who wants broad, high-volume experience in Australia, this casual role at a large, modern community club on the Sunshine Coast offers a varied kitchen. The club runs multiple food and beverage outlets, an events and function centre and a sports bar, and the right candidate can expect 35-40 hours per week.

Working under the head chef, you would sharpen the skills that matter for a long-term kitchen career: running efficient service across several outlets, working to the Food Safety Act and a structured food safety system, and holding food quality and consistency to the highest standard. Bistro experience adds weight to an application.

There is also a possible longer path. The position starts as casual, and after an agreeable trial period the employer will consider sponsorship for the right applicant. Applicants need Australian work rights at the time of application.

Present your progression clearly on an English CV: years in commercial kitchens, the roles you moved through and the food safety systems you have used. Build a career-focused chef CV with Build AI CV to show that growth.
