Sous Chef (Casual)

Summary about this job

Detail information about job Sous Chef (Casual). Terms and conditions vacancy

As a result of the ongoing success of the Café at The Mary Valley Rattler in Gympie, we have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Chef.  As part of a broader rail-based tourist attraction, we are seeking a team player with appropriate qualifications, a great attitude and a willingness to grow and develop their skills.

This role will report to our Head Chef, and will provide the successful applicant with an opportunity to hone their skills across our café service, functions and events, both on and off rail services.

This iconic railway holds a significant place in the history of the region, and this position will play a key role in the future growth of the business as we commence rail operations in Autumn.

The successful applicant will be able to manage food costs, stock levels and ordering to support the Executive Chef, or be able to quickly learn these skills.  You will have some supervisory skills and be someone who enjoys mentoring less experienced kitchen staff. 

If you want to make a difference in this unique business, love to work in a fast moving and challenging environment and are willing to work weekends and evenings (as rostered), you should apply for this role.  Initially proposed as a casual position, this may change as the business becomes more established.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• A minimum of Cert 3 in Cookery with minimum 4 years kitchen experience;
• Some experience of budget and cost controls when ordering supplies;
• High levels of kitchen hygiene and food presentation;
• The ability to communicate effectively;
• To be able to thrive under pressure and maintain high level of consistency.
• Must have a Bluecard

If you're looking for a challenging role with an exciting company, where you're constantly learning and growing then we'd love you to join our growing team.
