Seasonal Kitchen Roles – Spend Summer on Phillip Island

Make Phillip Island your summer address and join the kitchen crew at Phillip Island Winery. Casual roles are available now through to autumn for chefs, cooks, prep staff and kitchen hands. Positive, reliable team players wanted.

MAKE PHILLIP ISLAND YOUR SUMMER ADDRESS.

Phillip Island Winery is recruiting casual kitchen team members now, with roles available as we build towards summer and work continuing through the peak season and into autumn.

Spend the season surrounded by Phillip Island’s incredible beaches and coastline, with predominantly daytime hours and plenty to enjoy outside work.

At the Winery, you’ll also be joining a pretty special crew. They’re the people who make the place what it is – hard-working, welcoming and always ready to pitch in for each other during a busy service.

THE OPPORTUNITIES

We have several casual roles available across:

• Chef and cook positions
• Food preparation
• Kitchen-hand work
• General kitchen support

We’re recruiting people with different levels of experience and will match successful applicants to the responsibilities that best suit their skills.

Some positions require commercial kitchen experience or relevant cookery qualifications. For other roles, a good attitude, reliability and willingness to learn matter more than an extensive resume.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We want good humans who are:

• Positive, reliable and ready to work
• Comfortable contributing as part of a busy kitchen team
• Willing to learn, take feedback and help where needed
• Organised and composed during busy services
• Committed to food safety, hygiene and workplace safety
• Available across weekends, public holidays and peak summer dates

Previous experience in a restaurant, winery, café, catering business or commercial kitchen will be valuable. Relevant cookery qualifications will be required for some chef positions, but they are not necessary for every role.

Working Holiday Makers and travellers with valid Australian working rights are welcome to apply.

WHAT THE SEASON LOOKS LIKE

• Roles available to commence now and throughout the lead-up to summer
• Work continuing through summer and into autumn
• Greatest availability needed between December and Easter
• At least 10 hours per week, with opportunities for more during peak periods
• Hours generally between 10am and 6pm, with some additional or extended hours for weddings and events
• Casual rates under the Hospitality Industry (General) Award, including applicable penalty rates
• Based at Phillip Island Winery in Ventnor

Accommodation isn’t provided, but we can share a current guide to options around Phillip Island and the surrounding area, including hostel or backpacker-style accommodation where available.

You will need to be able to travel reliably to and from the Winery for rostered shifts.
