Lead the Kitchen of Queensland's Most Iconic Venue
The Grand View Hotel isn't just Queensland's oldest licensed hotel, it's a destination with a story, a reputation, and a team that genuinely loves what they do. Following a recent renovation that has reimagined the space, we're looking for a Head Chef who is ready to put their stamp on a kitchen that matters.
This is a role for a chef who leads from the pass, not the office. Someone who takes pride in their product, commands respect on the floor, and brings their team up with them.

Our investment goes beyond bricks and mortar — we invest in our people through structured training, genuine career pathways, and a culture where performance is recognised and rewarded. Our purpose is simple: to connect people through exceptional hospitality.
The Role
As Head Chef, you will have full ownership of the kitchen. From menu development and food quality to labour management, supplier relationships, and team culture. You'll be cooking. You'll be leading. And you'll be doing both with a team that's genuinely proud of where they work.
This is a hands-on leadership role in a high-volume venue with the backing of a group that knows how to support its people.

What We Offer
- Competitive remuneration package
- Genuine career progression within a growing multi-venue group
- Access to accredited training and professional development programs
- Mentorship from experienced industry leaders

- A kitchen and culture worth being proud of
