We are looking for an exceptional Head Chef to lead the kitchen from the very beginning and help create something truly special.
This is not a normal Head Chef role. This is an opportunity to be part of the creation of a brand-new upscale restaurant, building the kitchen, the standards, the menus and the culture from scratch.
The right chef will have strong experience in a premium restaurant environment, with the confidence to lead a serious kitchen operation and the creativity to help shape a unique Japanese-Brazilian fusion concept.
You must be passionate about quality, presentation, flavour, discipline and consistency. We are looking for someone with ambition, leadership and the desire to be part of a restaurant that aims to become one of the most exciting openings in Newcastle.
What we offer:
- Excellent package for the right candidate — one of the most attractive opportunities in hospitality for a chef of the right calibre.
- Full support from an established restaurant group.
- The chance to lead a brand-new premium concept from day one.
- Creative involvement in menu development, kitchen setup, suppliers, training and standards.
- A serious opportunity for growth as the brand develops.
We are looking for:
- A strong Head Chef with premium restaurant experience.
- Someone creative, organised and highly professional.
- A leader who can recruit, train and motivate a high-performing kitchen team.
- Strong knowledge of quality ingredients, presentation and kitchen discipline.
- Experience with Japanese, Brazilian, steakhouse, robata, sushi or premium fusion cuisine would be a strong advantage.
This is a rare opportunity for a chef who wants more than just a job — this is for someone who wants to create, lead and be part of something with real ambition.
