Chef
JOIN THE CARDRONA TEAM FOR WINTER 2026!
Are you a motivated, friendly and experienced team player with a strong work ethic? We're looking for chefs who can cook to order from a menu and be involved in the daily operation of a very busy food and beverage department operating out of several outlets.
Food preparation for future shifts, stock control and menu suggestions are all part of the job!
The successful applicants will have A La Carte chef experience, relevant qualifications and the ability to effectively communicate within a close-knit team. High levels of organisation and time management skills are essential to ensure the smooth running of extremely busy outlets. Neat and tidy presentation, awareness of a wide variety of cuisines and knowledge of food hygiene standards is essential.
It would be advantageous if you have a minimum of two years chef experience. Working within a highly skilled team who are passionate about producing the best kai and experiences for our guests, you'll have loads of opportunities to learn new skills and share your skills.
