Head Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Darwin, NT, Australia · Full-Time · $100,000 - $120,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Here is a Head Chef position at a waterfront restaurant of around 80 seats that belongs to a respected, expanding hospitality group. The cooking is bold, modern Australian, served as small and shared plates made in-house with local produce, and you would put your own stamp on the kitchen. Working with the owner on menus, you would also build and train the team and run service from the pass.
A genuine 38-hour week is part of the group's pitch. Experienced head chefs and senior sous chefs stepping up to a first head chef job are both welcome, and visa sponsorship is open for discussion for the right person.
Head chef hiring is about leadership, so your CV should say what you have led. Set out the menus you built, the teams you trained, the way you managed numbers and systems, and your experience with grill and fire cooking. Keep it focused on results you can explain at interview, and shape a head chef CV with Build AI CV to present it clearly.
