Hospitality · Sydney, NSW, Australia · Full-Time · $85,000 - $110,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
A brand-new neighbourhood bar with 90 seats and a focus on steak and seafood is about to open on Sydney's eastern beaches. It needs an experienced, inventive Head Chef to lead the kitchen from opening day. The kitchen is open to the room, the venue is relaxed and beachside with a busy bar, and the opening menu of grilled steaks, seafood and house-made sauces is still being worked out, so the chef helps shape it.
The right candidate can be offered visa sponsorship.
