Sous Chef / Accom Available

Live, work and play in the mountains. We are an award winning country hotel located amidst the mountains of the Southern Alps. Enjoy the amazing outdoor opportunities in every season; skiing in the winter, hiking, biking and fishing in the summer to name a few.  Head over to Queenstown on your days off but live in the serenity of the Cardrona Valley or with the small town vibe of Wanaka during your work week. We are between Queenstown and Wanaka - the perfect location to explore the area. 

We are looking to hire an experienced Sous Chef with creative flair and extensive food knowledge to join our kitchen team. This is a service oriented, hands-on role for someone with an uncompromising attitude towards quality and presentation. 

On site accommodation is be available.

The Role:

• assist the head chef in the day to day running of the kitchen
• support the head chef in stock management, food safety and team development
• ensure the quality and presentation of all dishes offered at our pub, restaurant and function menus
• supervise the kitchen and team in the absence of the head chef
• ensure communications between the kitchen and restaurant run smoothly

Our ideal candidate will be resilient, self motivated, and enthusiastic with a proven track record in good management and communication skills. Trade cooking qualifications and 3 to 5 years experience in a similar role are required. 

We need you to work through the entire winter season, which means from late June until the end of October. However, the role is available with an immediate start to the right candidate. 

Preference will be given to permanent residents or those with at least 6 months on their work visa. Full job description available on request.
