CHEF DE PARTIE - SILKY OAKS LODGE - THE DAINTREE

The Lodge

Silky Oaks Lodge offers guests a stylish escape in the cool calm of the Daintree Rainforest. Set above the gently flowing Mossman River and among the leafy canopy, the airy, open spaces of the main lodge envelop guests in the sights and sounds of an extraordinary natural theatre.

Silky Oaks Lodge is part of Baillie Lodges - an Australia-based collection of nine award-winning luxury lodges with properties in four countries and across three continents.

We now have an exciting opportunity for a Chef de Partie to join our Silky Oaks Lodge team in the Daintree Rainforest. This is a unique opportunity for a talented and driven chef to take the next step in their career by aligning themselves with a group that is on the move, dedicated to a sustainable style of hospitality, and presenting a food offering that celebrates local suppliers and produce.

The Role

Silky Oaks’ food philosophy very naturally, is underpinned by the glorious agricultural abundance – whether it be from our modest Kitchen Garden or from the local farmer ‘up the road’. As CDP you will be working with our talented team executing menus that blend tropical freshness, modern Australian tastes, and subtle Indigenous touches inspired by the Daintree Rainforest.

You will be a pivotal member of the kitchen team and be responsible for delivering a world-class culinary experience for our discerning, well-travelled guests, utilising the incredibly abundant local produce. You will be a service-driven leader with a passion for training, developing and motivating your team to succeed.

You will have:

Significant kitchen experience, ideally in the luxury segment

A great sense of humour and the ability to instil this approach in your team

The willingness to support the kitchen and broader lodge team in day-to-day operations

The highest level of attention to detail

Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate with all levels of guests and team members
