AddressWe’re looking for a visionary who understands the way to everyone’s heart is through their stomach.
You’re a culinary genius, and game changer, who’s all about creating exquisite dishes – fresh, balanced and altogether Heavenly. The kind that nurture the soul.
As Executive Chef, we know you’ve earned the right to play with your food. What sets you apart though, is the fact you’re an innovator who brings your team – and diners – on the journey.
You know that you don’t just need to run a kitchen – it’s a commercial enterprise and your eye for detail in costings and management of supplier relationships is unrivalled.
Your planning skills are beyond compare; you’re at least two steps ahead of your Brigade. Not because you’re better, more because you care. You lead by example, building a close-knit kitchen that works in harmony to swiftly and consistently plate up quality dishes. You inspire teamwork of the best kind.
Like us, in your book, people always come first. You’re revered in the industry as a chef’s chef. You mentor and motivate your team, encouraging new ideas and enforcing strict standards; all without raising your voice.
You’re also a time management superstar, who rarely breaks a sweat under pressure, maintains focus, and always goes the extra mile to keep kitchen service on track. ‘Yes, Chef!’
If this sounds like you, and you’re looking for a career with no limits, it’s time dive in and find more. So pack your toque and come join our team at Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough.
