Someone who gets excited about great produce, restaurants and cooking.</li><li>A great cook. Delicious, consistent food comes first.</li><li>Ambition. You don't need to know everything already — but you should want to keep learning and progressing.</li><li>Leadership. Someone who enjoys mentoring other chefs, setting standards and leading by example.</li><li>Ideas. We want someone comfortable contributing rather than simply being told what to do.</li><li>A positive attitude. We're building a kitchen people enjoy working in and want someone who contributes to that culture.</li></ul><h3>The opportunity</h3>For the right person, this role can grow with you. We're open to giving you more responsibility, more creative input and the opportunity to help shape the kitchen as you develop.We're located in Mona Vale on Sydney's Northern Beaches, so please make sure the commute is realistic before applying.
