ARE YOU CREATIVE IN THE KITCHEN? DO YOU LIKE DEVELOPING AND TESTING RECIPES?

We’re looking for an experienced chef to join our kitchen team and help us broaden our house-made product range for retail. We need your expertise, creativity and love of food to bring our culinary brand to life.
About Us:
We have been a family owned and operated supermarket for the last 40+ years. Our purpose has always been to provide our community the highest quality service with a true emphasis on customer experience and product range. This is how we stand out from other major supermarket chains - we care. We only sell the best produce, meat and bread, with Geelong’s largest deli range. We see our future growing in-store brands with ranges of foods that feel authentically us, and sharing some of our love of food to the community. This is where you come in…

This is a commercial kitchen and prep role, that extends into product development.

• You will be working with our close team to produce our house-made range (this includes focaccia, lasagna, pies and baked goods), and working independently to craft our filled focaccias, and take-away goods.
• Our goal is to create our own retail brand of products to sell in-store such as sauces, spreads, preserves, etc., that you will help develop and test recipes for.
• Work closely with our Back of House and Deli and provide expertise and assistance when needed.
• Hours may vary weekly depending on tasks, but we are expecting at least 3 days a week and occasionally Saturdays. Early morning starts are required.

About You:
You have much experience working within a commercial kitchen, and enjoy collaborating to bring ideas to fruition. You can think logically, balancing costs with production and can manage inventory. You work strong independently but equally with a team. You’re seeking a role with less pressure than a service kitchen, and fulfils you creatively. If you’re creative, passionate, want a work life that is flexible, and a chance to bring your ideas to fruition, we want to hear from you.
