Weekend Kitchen Hand – Friday, Saturday & Sunday
Hungry Italiano is a small, family-owned restaurant in Terrigal, and we’re looking for a dependable Kitchen Hand to join our team as we head into the busy spring and summer season.
This role is rostered across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, between 11:00 am and 9:30 pm. You must have ongoing availability across all three days—this is a non-negotiable requirement of the position.
The role includes:
- Helping the chefs with food preparation during the day
- Preparing and plating salads during dinner service
- Warming and preparing breads for service
- Washing dishes, cookware and kitchen equipment
- Keeping the kitchen and wash-up area clean and organised
- Restocking ingredients and supporting the chefs during busy services
- Following food-safety and hygiene procedures
- Completing cleaning and closing duties
- Helping wherever needed to keep the kitchen running smoothly
We’re looking for someone who:
- Is genuinely available every Friday, Saturday and Sunday
- Has a strong work ethic and a can-do attitude
- Is reliable, punctual and understands that the team depends on them
- Can work quickly and efficiently in a busy kitchen
- Is willing to learn, follow instructions and accept feedback
- Lives locally or has reliable transport to Terrigal
- Is looking for stable, ongoing work—not occasional weekend shifts
Experience is helpful, but it isn’t essential. We’re happy to train the right person from the ground up if they’re committed and willing to work hard.
Your hourly rate will comply with the applicable hospitality award and will reflect your age, classification and experience. There is potential for this position to develop into full-time work for the right person.
We understand genuine illness and emergencies happen. However, because weekends are our busiest trading period, this role will not suit someone who regularly has other commitments or cannot consistently work all three rostered days.
Serious applicants only—please apply only if you can commit to Friday, Saturday and Sunday on an ongoing basis.
Pay: $26.44 – $44.96 per hour
Work Location: In person
