Visa sponsorship

Hospitality · Sydney, NSW, Australia · Full-Time · $85,000 - $110,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored

Opening soon in Sydney's eastern beaches: a new neighbourhood bar with 90 seats and a steak and seafood focus. Its first Head Chef will lead the kitchen from launch, in a casual beachside room with an open kitchen and a busy bar. The launch menu of grilled steaks, seafood and house-made sauces is still being worked out, so the creative input is genuine.

Visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
