We're looking for someone who wants more than just another chef job.
We're looking for a hands-on Senior Chef or experienced Sous Chef who is ready to take ownership of a kitchen, build consistency, and help shape its future.
About Us
Little Parrot Cronulla is a well-loved, established restaurant with loyal regulars, a strong reputation, and the opportunity for the right chef to have a genuine impact on the future of the kitchen.
Our food is modern Australian in style — seasonal, produce-driven, and focused on simple dishes executed exceptionally well.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Lead a small kitchen with real ownership of standards, service, and day-to-day operations
- Shape menus and create weekly specials that reflect your style and ideas
- Build leadership experience and develop your management skills
- Join a supportive, no-ego team environment
- Established venue with loyal customers and strong foundations
- Sustainable workload without the scale and pressure of a large venue (no 50hr weeks here!)
The Role
- Lead service and set the tone in the kitchen
- Manage prep, ordering, and stock control
- Maintain consistency, quality, and presentation
- Create and execute seasonal specials
- Improve systems and structure over time
- Support and develop junior team members
What We're Looking For
- Proven ability to lead a busy service and keep dishes moving during peak periods
- Senior Chef or experienced Sous Chef
- Someone ready to step up and take ownership
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
- Calm under pressure and reliable
- Committed to building consistency and high standards
- A team player who leads by example
Who Will Thrive Here
- Someone who wants to run a kitchen they're proud of
- Someone who takes pride in consistency, quality, and doing things right.
- Someone who enjoys being part of a close-knit team and wants the opportunity to make a genuine impact.
We're looking for someone who wants to settle in, contribute to the team, and help build something strong over time.
Ideal for a strong Sous Chef looking for their first opportunity to lead a kitchen, or an experienced chef looking for a role with real ownership and influence.
