Chef

About The Kitchens

The Kitchens is a hospitality group on the Mornington Peninsula, with four venues and a catering arm. Each venue has its own pace and personality, but our expectations are the same: show up, work well with your team and take pride in what you do. We are looking for reliable people who care about great food, coffee and hospitality, and want to be part of a place locals love coming to.

We are looking for one part-time chef to join St Andrews Kitchen in St Andrews Beach. This role is based at St Andrews Kitchen, not our Tootgarook venue.

The role

Prepare and cook food, contribute to smooth kitchen service, maintain food safety and cleanliness, and work closely with the kitchen and front-of-house teams.

Roster and pay

Two to three shifts per week, increasing to four or five during busy periods.

Level 4 part-time rates: $29.45 per hour midweek and $44.18 per hour on Sundays. Higher award rates apply on public holidays; the advertised range covers midweek to Sunday rates.

We value reliability, teamwork and pride in your work. Tell us about your kitchen experience and availability when applying through ReelWork.

• Supportive teams who share a love of food and hospitality
• Flexible working hours and a workplace that values work-life balance
• Dedicated HR support
• Staff meals included

• Opportunities to develop, take on responsibility and build a lasting career with The Kitchens

Everyone is welcome

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. Bring your skills, ideas and enthusiasm, and help us create great experiences for our guests.

Part of the Peninsula community

Great food brings people together. A great community keeps them coming back. The Mornington Peninsula is our home, and giving back is part of everyday life at The Kitchens. Through 20 Cent Tuesdays, we donate 20 cents from every hot drink sold across our venues to Southern Peninsula Community Support. We also support local causes through fundraising, donations and meals for people doing it tough, and help young people build skills and confidence through work experience and mentoring. When you join us, you become part of a team that cares about the community around it.
