We’re looking for an experienced Sous Chef to join the crew at Three Blue Ducks Rosebery - our vibrant, open-kitchen venue in the heart of Sydney. With a wood-fired oven, an in-house bakery, and a buzzing events calendar, Rosebery is one of our busiest and most dynamic Ducks locations.

We’re big on local, seasonal food with a sustainable edge, and we’ve built a kitchen culture that’s all about teamwork, good energy, and genuine care for what we put on the plate.

What the role looks like:
You’ll be working closely with our Head Chef to run a tight ship across busy à la carte services, functions, and events. You’ll help lead the team, jump on the tools when needed, and play a key part in keeping standards high and the kitchen humming.

What you’ll be doing:

Running sections and backing up the Head Chef during service

Helping develop new dishes and seasonal menus

Leading by example and supporting junior chefs to grow

Managing ordering, stock, and kitchen organisation

Staying on top of food safety, cleanliness, and kitchen systems

Keeping the team energy strong - collaboration and communication are key

What we’re looking for:

Experience as a Sous Chef (or strong CDP ready to step up) in a high-volume kitchen

Great cooking skills and a love for fresh, produce-driven food

Confidence in leading a team and keeping a cool head under pressure

Strong communication, solid organisation, and a genuine team spirit

A good sense of humour and a down-to-earth approach

What you’ll get in return:

A supportive and well-run kitchen environment

Opportunities to grow and move across our other venues (Byron, Melbourne, Bellingen & Nimbo)

Tips, staff discounts, and partner perks

Ongoing training and development

A team that works hard, backs each other, and has a laugh along the way

If you’re ready to step into a leadership role and be part of a great kitchen, we’d love to hear from you.
