Argyle House Camden is looking for a reliable, hardworking and practical Kitchen Hand & Maintenance All-Rounder to join our team full-time.

This is not just a dishwashing position.

We are looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on and can move between supporting our kitchen team and taking care of general maintenance, cleaning, repairs and upkeep around the venue.

Argyle House is a busy premium restaurant and functions venue, so we need somebody who takes pride in keeping the entire property clean, organised, safe and operating properly.

THE ROLE

Your week will include a combination of kitchen hand duties and general maintenance work throughout the venue.

Kitchen duties include:

• Dishwashing and operating commercial dishwashing equipment
• Keeping the kitchen, scullery and back-of-house areas exceptionally clean
• Assisting chefs with basic food preparation when required
• Cleaning kitchen equipment, floors, walls, cool rooms and storage areas
• Receiving and putting away deliveries
• Waste removal and bin management
• Maintaining excellent hygiene and food-safety standards
• Helping the kitchen team during busy services
• General cleaning and organisation

Maintenance & all-rounder duties include:

• General preventative maintenance throughout the venue
• Minor repairs to doors, locks, hinges, fixtures and fittings
• Basic painting, patching and touch-up work
• Furniture repairs and assembly
• Minor plumbing-type maintenance such as blocked drains, leaking taps and replacing fittings where appropriate
• Cleaning and maintaining drains, filters and equipment
• Identifying maintenance problems before they become major issues
• Keeping storage, loading and service areas organised
• Pressure cleaning and external venue upkeep where required
• Assisting with moving equipment, furniture and function setups
• Liaising with qualified tradespeople when specialist or licensed work is required
• General troubleshooting and practical jobs around the property

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We want someone who is genuinely an all-rounder.

You should be:

• Experienced in kitchen hand, cleaning, maintenance, handyman or similar work
• Practical and confident using basic hand and power tools
• Able to identify and solve small maintenance problems
• Physically fit and comfortable with a hands-on role
• Reliable and punctual
• Able to work independently without needing constant supervision
• Happy to help wherever you’re needed
• Comfortable working in a busy restaurant environment
• Proud of keeping a venue clean and well maintained
• Available for a full-time roster, including evenings and weekends

Previous experience in restaurants, hotels, pubs, commercial kitchens, property maintenance or facilities maintenance would be highly regarded.

A driver’s licence and previous maintenance/handyman experience will be looked upon favourably.

You do not need to be a qualified tradesperson, but you must have genuine practical maintenance experience and know when a job needs to be referred to a licensed trade.

WHAT WE OFFER

• $70,000–$75,000 + super, depending on experience and capability
• Full-time permanent employment
• Stable hours and ongoing work
• Staff meals
• A varied role — you’re not standing at a dishwasher all day
• Opportunity to become an important part of the Argyle House operations team
• A quality working environment in one of Camden’s leading hospitality venues
• Immediate start available for the right person

IMPORTANT

We are specifically looking for someone who can combine kitchen support with maintenance and general venue upkeep.

If you are the sort of person who notices something is loose, leaking, broken, dirty or not working properly, and takes the initiative to fix it or report it. We want to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and a short description of your kitchen, maintenance or handyman experience.
