  • Experience in a fine dining, luxury lodge or premium hotel kitchen
  • Strong technical skills across desserts, breads and viennoiserie
  • A creative approach to plating and seasonal menu design
  • Excellent attention to detail and consistency under pressure
  • Willingness to live and work on Kangaroo Island in a residential setting
  • Ability to work a rotating roster, including weekends and public holidays
