Your Role

The Chef will play a key role in delivering an exceptional, creative culinary experience on the client floor, working collaboratively with the Head Chef and the wider Client Services team.

The role supports the firm's commitment to providing outstanding hospitality that leaves a lasting impression on Partners, staff, clients, and visitors.

• Collaboratively work with the Head Chef and Client Services team to plan, prepare, and deliver exceptional food for formal dining, seminars, working lunches, canapé events, and daily hospitality offerings.
• Bring creativity and curiosity to daily menu development - designing and executing new dishes each day using seasonal, high-quality produce with no reliance on a set menu.
• Actively contribute to menu innovation, drawing on current food trends, cultural influences, and guest feedback to continually elevate the dining experience.
• Supporting and mentoring team members, sharing knowledge and contributing to a collaborative kitchen environment
• Prepare food that caters to a wide range of dietary requirements, including allergen management, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and culturally specific dietary needs, always ensuring guest safety.
• Champion sustainability and waste-reduction practices in the kitchen, including responsible sourcing, minimising food waste, and supporting environmentally conscious operations.
• Maintain the kitchen and all equipment to the highest standards of cleanliness, in compliance with Work Health & Safety (WHS) and food safety regulations.
• Participate in team meetings and contribute ideas, feedback, and solutions to support continuous improvement.
