Experienced Cooks/Chefs, 3 in all, are sought by a Vietnamese restaurant group growing across regional New South Wales, and an immediate start is possible. The group wants people who are motivated, dependable and hard-working and can keep up in a busy commercial kitchen.
Holders of a Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) are welcome to apply, as the business is an approved sponsor. For long-term Cooks/Chefs who are suitable and eligible, the Skills in Demand Visa (Subclass 482) may be an option, but only in line with what the business needs, the person's own eligibility, how well they perform at work and the immigration rules in force; nothing is automatic or certain. This role is open to applicants already in Australia who are ready to work wherever they are placed, and who may begin with training in Port Macquarie.
