We're building something really special at Winston's, and we're looking for the right person to continue to build it with us. If you're an experienced Senior Sous Chef who loves beautiful food, thrives in a busy kitchen and wants to be part of a team that genuinely cares about what we do, we'd love to meet you.
Winston's is a busy neighbourhood bistro and wine bar in the heart of Black Rock, known for warm hospitality, exceptional food, incredible wine, quality cocktails and a genuine sense of community.
We're looking for an experienced Senior Sous Chef to join our growing kitchen team. Working closely with our Head Chef, you'll play a key role in leading day-to-day service, mentoring the team and maintaining the high standards we're becoming known for.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in a busy kitchen, leads from the front and takes genuine pride in producing consistently exceptional food.
More than that, we're looking for someone who has their finger on the pulse of Melbourne's dining scene. Someone who dines out, stays curious, notices what's happening in hospitality and is excited by new ideas, produce and techniques. We want someone who'll bring fresh inspiration to the kitchen, contribute creatively, challenge us in the best possible way and add another dimension to an already passionate team.
If you're driven, collaborative and excited by the opportunity to help shape the next chapter of Winston's, we'd love to hear from you.
You're an experienced Senior Sous Chef who loves being in a busy kitchen and leading from the front. You set high standards for yourself and those around you, stay calm when the pressure is on, and understand that great kitchens are built on consistency, communication and teamwork. Dare we say, have some fun!?
You're passionate about food, produce and hospitality, but you're also curious. You enjoy eating out, keeping up with Melbourne's dining scene and bringing fresh ideas back to the kitchen. You notice the little things, you're always learning, and you're excited by the opportunity to help shape and evolve a menu rather than simply cook it.
Most importantly, you're someone people enjoy working with. You lead with respect, support the team around you and genuinely care about creating a positive kitchen culture.
Working alongside our Head Chef, you'll be an integral part of the day-to-day operation of the kitchen. You'll lead services, mentor junior chefs and help maintain the high standards Winston's is becoming known for.
You'll also play an active role in menu development, seasonal planning, ordering, stock management and creating systems that help the kitchen run efficiently. We're looking for someone who isn't afraid to bring ideas to the table and wants to help us continue raising the bar.
We're a restaurant that's still growing, which means your ideas, leadership and contribution will genuinely make an impact. We have a supportive ownership team that's passionate about hospitality and committed to building one of Bayside's favourite neighbourhood bistros.
You'll work with quality produce, alongside our Head Chef and a team that genuinely enjoys what they do. If you're looking for somewhere you can grow, be challenged and help create something special then please apply!
