Cafe Head Chef needed!
Our busy little cafe is growing, and we’re now looking for a Head Chef to take the full reins of our kitchen.
We need someone who’s passionate about food, thrives under pressure, and is ready to bring creativity and leadership as we continue to grow.
It will be the responsibility of the head chef to manage all aspects of the kitchen, including HACCP, training, food waste and quality control.

Duties would include:
- Implementation of new evening menu for the upcoming summer 2026
- full accountability for the smooth operation of the kitchen
- upskilling all kitchen staff to create a high performing team
