- Free accommodation, coastal views & sponsorship
- Set roster with two consecutive days off
- Head chef to lead a newly refurbished kitchen
This is more than just a role — it’s a coastal lifestyle opportunity, offering free accommodation and the chance to lead within a supportive and expanding hospitality group. Located on Tasmania’s East Coast, this iconic venue is part of a portfolio of 20+ sites and has recently benefited from a complete kitchen refurbishment.
The venue includes a tavern, separate breakfast kitchen, and a dedicated function space. The service is structured, energetic, and calm — supported by a Hobart-based production kitchen that supplies core components, allowing your focus to stay on service, consistency, and team culture.
This could be a fantastic step up for a senior Sous Chef who’s ready to lead and take the next leap in their career. If you’re hands-on, steady under pressure, and thrive in a team-driven kitchen — we want to hear from you.
This is a relocation role, and sponsorship is available for the right candidate. Free onsite accommodation (with coastal views) is included, which means more savings and a simpler move.
If you’re relocating with a partner, there may also be opportunities for them within other areas of the business.
The Role
- Hands-on kitchen leadership across lunch, dinner, and small function service
- Coordinating daily prep, staff scheduling, ordering, and supplier management
- Managing food safety, quality, and kitchen presentation standards
- Collaborating on weekly specials and integrating production kitchen components
- Working across Teams and other digital systems for communication and reporting
- Mentoring a multicultural team of chefs, cooks, and casuals
You’ll Bring
- Proven leadership experience — or be ready to step up from a Sous Chef role
- Clear, calm communication and a willingness to guide and uplift your team
- Understanding of kitchen operations, ordering, rostering, and stock control
- A level head in a fast-moving service environment
What’s on Offer
- Free onsite accommodation with coastal views (1-bedroom flat with kitchenette)
- Real savings through provided accommodation and lower living costs
- Sponsorship available for the right candidate
- Opportunity to live in a close-knit, scenic community on Tasmania’s East Coast
- Long-term career prospects within a larger hospitality group
- Discounts across group-owned venues and employee support services
- Supportive onboarding and team culture — you’ll be backed, not left behind
We’re seeking a head chef who is looking for more than just a role — someone driven by long-term stability, a sense of purpose, and the opportunity to live and lead in a truly rewarding environment.
