The Muragh Operations team is currently on the hunt for a Head Chef to take over the kitchen at The Jetty | Southbank. Our group is expanding and some team members being internally promoted across venues which means we have an opening to fill for a Head Chef. 

The Jetty is a stunning riverside modern Australian restaurant, 7 day trading operation. 11:30am - late Monday to Thursday and 7am - late on Friday to Sunday with a breakfast service added. Two sous chefs at your side, one taking the mantle of breakfast as their own to run & manage. Our kitchen team currently consists of about 10 chefs and one apprentice, with plans to add a second apprentice in the coming months. Some of our chefs work a 4 day roster for better work/life balance and all hours over 45 are paid as overtime aswell as extra days pay on all public holidays. 

Recently awarded Best Breakfast in Southbank, The Jetty has grown from strength to strength post-covid and is the direction we wish to continue in. A heavy focus on set menu functions, particularly towards Christmas - we are a very popular Christmas party venue. Repeat sell out events every for Melbourne Cup, Riverfire, Mothers Day, Christmas Eve, New Years Eve. Also external food festivals, we take part in the Regional Flavours festival each year and do so very successfully. 

Under guidance from the Executive Chef, you will oversee all matters involving the kitchen, stock control, cleanliness, wages, training, menu creation etc. You will work closely with the General Manager & Executive Chef to ensure the venue is running at the highest standard of service and efficiency whilst maintaining an excellent reputation.
