Commis Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Christchurch, New Zealand · Full-Time · $26 - $30/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
A Christchurch hotel is hiring a commis chef, and the employer is clear about what it wants: earlier commercial kitchen experience and a willingness to be taught by the Head Chef. The hotel runs a café, a bar and a restaurant, and the kitchen is professional and supportive. The post is ongoing and full-time, at least 30 hours a week in shifts that fall on afternoons, evenings and weekends.
Visa support is available for the right candidate, so a move from Harare or Bulawayo to Christchurch is realistic for the right cook.
