Lead a world‐class culinary team in the heart of the CBD, delivering excellence across diverse dining outlets and high‐end events.

\n

Overview

\n

The RACV City Club is an icon of Melbourne's hospitality landscape. From refined fine dining and bustling bistros, to grand‐scale corporate events and elegant weddings, our kitchen operations are as diverse as they are prestigious. We are seeking a Head Chef who can balance the sophistication of a 5‐star club with the proven operational ability of a large‐scale culinary hub.

Key Responsibilities

\n

    \n
  • Visionary Leadership: Lead a large, multi‐functional kitchen brigade with a hands‐on approach. Mentor the next generation of chefs, fostering a culture of innovation and high performance.
  • \n
  • Operational Mastery: Oversee everything from menu engineering and stock rotation to rigorous hygiene standards and capital asset planning.
  • \n
  • Financial Stewardship: Take full accountability for budgets, labour costs, and COGS, ensuring the kitchen meets financial targets while maintaining 5‐star quality.
  • \n
  • Member‐Centric Service: Collaborate with other Leisure departments to create seamless, "Member First" experiences that differentiate RACV from the competition.
  • \n

\n

Qualifications

\n

    \n
  • Experience: A background in 4–5 star hotels or high‐volume, premium club environments.
  • \n
  • Technical Excellence: Mastery of all kitchen sections—from butchery and sauces to fine dining and large‐scale banquet operations.
  • \n
  • Business Acumen: Strong skills in forecasting, strategic planning, and cost control.
  • \n
  • Composure: Ability to direct a large team and make critical decisions while remaining calm under the pressure of a busy CBD service.
  • \n

\n

Benefits

\n

    \n
  • Impact: Influence the culinary direction of one of Australia's most respected private clubs.
  • \n
  • Culture: Join a team that values initiative, safety, professional development, and positive relationships.
  • \n
  • Stability: Benefit from the security and corporate support of the trusted RACV brand.
  • \n
