CASUAL CHEF – 20–30 HOURS PER WEEK
THE MILBRI – ROSEBUD
Looking for a chef job where you can actually have a life outside the kitchen?
At The Milbri, we’re looking for a Casual Chef to join our BOH team for around 20–30 hours per week, with the potential for more hours from November and throughout the busy summer period.
For the right person, there is also the opportunity to move into a permanent part-time or full-time position.
WHY WORK AT THE MILBRI?
Hospitality can be demanding, but we don’t believe working in a kitchen should mean giving up every weekend, every evening and every plan you make outside of work.
We have built a strong BOH and FOH team so we can give our staff flexibility and a genuine work-life balance.
What you can expect:
20–30 hours per week, with potentially more hours over summer
Opportunity to become part-time or full-time for the right candidate
You do not have to work every weekend
Want a weekend off for plans, family, events or simply because you want one? We do our best to make it work
No early mornings – you’ll never start before 11am
No late-night finishes – you’ll never finish later than around 9:30pm
Flexible shift options including 11am–4pm and 4pm–9pm
Split shifts are available for those who prefer them
A strong team that helps each other rather than leaving one person to carry the kitchen
A workplace where flexibility goes both ways and people are treated like people
YOUNG CHEF OR STILL BUILDING YOUR EXPERIENCE?
Don’t let that stop you from applying.
You don’t need to have years of experience or know everything already.
If you have the right attitude, enjoy cooking and genuinely want to improve, you’ll have a supportive and experienced kitchen team behind you.
We’re happy to work with younger chefs who want to develop their skills, learn new techniques, improve their speed and confidence, and gain experience working in a busy restaurant environment.
You’ll have the opportunity to work with different flavours, ingredients, techniques and sections rather than being stuck doing the same basic job every shift.
FOR MORE EXPERIENCED CHEFS
If you already have solid kitchen experience, there is plenty of room to take on more responsibility.
We value chefs who bring ideas to the table, and as you settle into the role there can be opportunities to contribute to specials, new dishes, prep systems and menu development.
We want people in the kitchen who care about the food and feel like they are part of the team – not just another person filling a roster.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
You might be a great fit if you:
Have some commercial kitchen experience – or are a young chef keen to learn
Have a good attitude and are reliable
Work well as part of a team
Are willing to help your colleagues when things get busy
Care about producing good food consistently
Want to keep learning and improving
Prefer working somewhere with a supportive team rather than an ego-driven kitchen
Want a hospitality job that can actually work around your life
We’re not looking for someone who has the perfect résumé.
Attitude, reliability, willingness to learn and being a good teammate matter just as much to us as experience.
ABOUT THE MILBRI
The Milbri is a busy Rosebud restaurant with a strong, established BOH and FOH team.
We take our food seriously, but we also want the kitchen to be an enjoyable place to work.
Our team is built around teamwork, communication and helping each other out. When someone needs support, we step in. When someone needs some time off, we have enough depth in the team to make it possible.
If you’re looking for a kitchen where you can learn, earn good hours, enjoy your days outside of work and still have weekends available to live your life, we’d love to hear from you.
Casual position | 20–30 hours per week
More hours available from November through summer
