Job Description
This is a rare opportunity to take the reins of a new restaurant concept in Sydney’s East. Our client has long track record of stability and quality in the local hospitality market, and they’re now focused on creating something fresh, relevant, and enduring in one of Sydney’s most iconic beachside locations.
Set in the heart of Bondi, the venue will offer a vibrant, produce-led dining experience that speaks to the neighbourhood - modern, coastal, confident. The brief? Bright, fresh casual food featuring the best of Spanish and Mediterranean flavours.
Job Description
As Head Chef, you’ll take full ownership of the kitchen — building a team, shaping the menu, and delivering a consistently excellent product. You’ll work alongside the General Manager and owners to create something truly unique and enduring in the Bondi scene. We’re not necessarily looking for a Spanish cuisine background - just a Head Chef (or strong Senior Sous ready to step up) with a deep respect for produce, clean flavours, and technical confidence on the plate.
Candidate Profile
To be considered for this role you will have:
- Experience in a premium, high-volume kitchen
- Excellent kitchen management and leadership skills
- The ability to mentor and develop a team culture
- A clear, confident style of food that celebrates quality ingredients
- Strong understanding of cost control, compliance, and systems
- A collaborative mindset and strong communication with FOH
- Full working rights in Australia
This role is offering a strong remuneration package comprised of an excellent base salary pending experience.
