Be Part of Something New and Meaningful

At Caption by Hyatt Central Sydney, we’re rethinking hospitality—putting community, sustainability, and self-expression at the heart of everything we do. Designed to be of the community, not just in it, Caption by Hyatt Central Sydney will be the first of its kind in Australia, offering a vibrant, people-first experience that’s as much about connection as it is about comfort.

We’re looking for a Demi Chef (Part-Time) to join our pre-opening team—someone who brings energy, reliability, and care to every plate. You’ll support daily kitchen operations, help deliver fresh, flavour-forward dishes, and contribute to a collaborative, inclusive environment.

Care Connects Us

It all starts with people who care. At Hyatt, we believe in caring for people so they can be their best—and we bring this to life through our leadership commitment, learning and development opportunities, and wellbeing initiatives. We want you to feel engaged, supported, and inspired so you can bring your best self to work every day.
