The Opportunity:

Behind every memorable meal is a kitchen team making it happen. As a Kitchen Attendant, you will be right in the mix, supporting our chefs with food preparation and keeping our kitchens clean, organised and ready for service.

From preparing fresh ingredients and assisting with simple cooking tasks to keeping dishes, utensils and equipment ready for the next service, your contribution will be felt throughout the kitchen. You will also help receive deliveries, organise stock and maintain food storage areas, bringing care to the everyday details that keep our kitchens working at their best.

Working alongside our chefs, you will build your kitchen skills while supporting the safety, hygiene and responsible practices that underpin Crystalbrook Collection’s approach to hospitality.

This casual opportunity offers approximately 24–38 hours per week across a rotating roster, including nights, weekends and public holidays.
