The Opportunity: Behind every memorable meal is a kitchen team making it happen. As a Kitchen Attendant, you will be right in the mix, supporting our chefs with food preparation and keeping our kitchens clean, organised and ready for service. Your contribution will be felt throughout the kitchen as you prepare fresh ingredients, assist with simple cooking tasks, keep dishes, utensils and equipment ready for the next service, help receive deliveries, organise stock and maintain food storage areas.

This casual opportunity offers approximately 24–38 hours per week across a rotating roster, including nights, weekends and public holidays.
