Chef de partie

Located in Armadale, Albert’s is a busy and well established neighbourhood wine bar with a strong focus on seasonal produce, thoughtful cooking and great wine. Our regularly changing, European leaning menu is built around quality ingredients and confident, classic cooking.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely loves what they do and has a passion for restaurants and hospitality. Albert’s is a busy venue with a small, open kitchen, so we need someone who enjoys working in a close knit environment, is highly organised, prepared to work hard and happy to get stuck in wherever needed. Our chefs work in view of our guests, which is a big part of the Albert’s experience, so being clean, tidy and well-presented is particularly important.

We work hard and expect a lot from our team, but we also love what we do and believe it’s genuinely rewarding work. We’ve built a professional but enjoyable workplace where people take their jobs seriously, respect and support each other, and are proud of the food and experience we provide. If you love cooking, restaurants and hospitality (and particularly if you’re a wine lover too) you’ll fit in well here.
