Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Wellington, New Zealand · Full-Time · $28 - $35/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Australia is not the only option across the Tasman: this Wellington role is a permanent, full-time chef position in a small gastro-pub kitchen.
The cooking is made to order, with a section to run and standards to hold through busy service. Rostered work rotates over 5 days, at least 30 hours a week, evenings and weekends included. The employer is a New Zealand accredited employer, which means it can sponsor a work visa.
Whichever side of the Tasman you aim for, a sharp CV helps. Put your commercial kitchen record and cookery certificate up front, and let Build AI CV tidy it up.
