Banksia Restaurant Melbourne – CDP or Sous Chef
Caulfield North, Melbourne | $80,000 – $90,000 + super

About us

Banksia is a Modern Australian neighbourhood restaurant at 98 Hawthorn Road, Caulfield North. We're in the middle of an exciting evolution — a fresh concept built around seasonal, produce-driven cooking in a warm, unpretentious setting that the local community genuinely loves.

The role

We're looking for a CDP ready to step up or a Sous Chef after a fresh challenge. You'll work closely with our head chef on a sharing-style menu that's ingredient-led and crafted with care. It's a hands-on role in a small, tight-knit team where your ideas are heard and your development actually matters.

What you'll bring

You have solid experience in a professional kitchen and can hold your own on the pass. You take pride in clean, consistent execution, understand what it means to work as part of a team, and don't need to be told twice. A genuine interest in modern, produce-forward cooking will serve you well — but more than anything, we want someone who shows up with energy, looks after the people around them, and wants to help build something worth being proud of.

What we offer

• $80,000 – $90,000 + super depending on experience

• Above-award rates

• A supportive kitchen culture where your growth is taken seriously

• Real input into a menu that's still taking shape
