For a qualified chef building a long-term hospitality career in Australia, the step from line cook to trusted deputy is where progression really begins. This full-time Senior Chef / Chef position in Brisbane offers that step inside a well-established bar and restaurant, at a salary of $78,000 - $80,000 per year.
Working directly with the Head Chef, you would develop across the whole operation: production, service coordination, stock control, kitchen organisation and the mentoring of junior staff. These are the skills that later support a move into kitchen leadership.
The employer requires current Australian work rights at the time of application, which limits the role to professionals presently in the country. It further states that sponsorship opportunities are available for the right candidate who meets all other requirements.
