About Sweet Belem
Sweet Belem is a modern Portuguese pastry brand. We combine traditional technique with a calm, contemporary service style. Our Barangaroo site is a compact flagship store focused on quality, consistency, and a respectful kitchen culture.
We're not a big corporate group.
We're hands-on owners building something special — carefully, not chaotically.
The Role
As a Kitchenhand at Sweet Belem Barangaroo, you'll support our pastry and kitchen teams by keeping the workspace clean, organised and running smoothly during daytime production and service.
Working roughly between 9:00am and 5:00pm, you'll be an essential part of the team — helping our chefs and bakers focus on producing quality product by handling washing, prep support, stock rotation and general kitchen upkeep.
This role suits someone reliable, hands-on and happy to keep things moving in a small, tight-knit kitchen.
Key Responsibilities
- Wash dishes, utensils and kitchen equipment to a high standard
- Keep kitchen and workstations clean, tidy and organised throughout the day
- Assist chefs and bakers with basic prep tasks as required
- Receive, unpack and store deliveries correctly
- Rotate stock and correctly label, date and store ingredients
- Take out rubbish and maintain general cleanliness of the site
- Follow food-safety, hygiene and workplace-safety procedures
- Support the team during busy periods
- Report any equipment issues or shortages to the team lead
What We're Looking For
- Previous kitchenhand, dishwashing or hospitality experience is a plus but not essential
- A strong work ethic and willingness to get stuck in
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, small team environment
- Reliable, punctual and able to work daytime hours
- Good communication and teamwork skills
- Basic understanding of food safety and hygiene (or willingness to learn)
What We Offer
- Consistent daytime hours, roughly 9:00am–5:00pm
- Predictable rosters published in advance
- Supportive, respectful kitchen culture
- Opportunity to grow with a young brand
- Staff discounts and benefits
