Indian Curry / Tandoori Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Dunedin, New Zealand · Full-Time · $25 - $35/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
A Dunedin-area restaurant specialising in Indian food seeks a chef for curry and tandoori dishes, permanent and full-time at 30 hours a week or more. Leading services and teaching apprentices are part of the job.
Applicants must hold New Zealand residency or a valid New Zealand work visa, or be eligible for sponsorship under the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) scheme. Long-term plans and a wish to stay in one kitchen suit this post well. A chef who likes to coach others as well as cook will find plenty to do.
From Harare or Bulawayo, a chef's CV should state the cuisines cooked, how many covers a service runs at in plain words and the apprentices trained. Create your curry chef CV with Build AI CV and keep each kitchen role short.
