FULL-TIME CHEF – BIG LOAF BAKERY, O’CONNOR

Sunday to Thursday | 5:00 AM Start | Early birds, this one’s for you.

Are you a kitchen wizard who loves crafting mouthwatering food, working independently, and thriving in a fast-paced, flavour-packed environment? We’re on the hunt for a full-time Chef to join the team at Big Loaf Bakery in O’Connor.

This isn’t your average chef gig — you’ll be working in a buzzing bakery kitchen, creating everything from vibrant salads, house-made sauces, and stacked sandwiches that locals obsess over. If you’ve got skills, stamina, and a sense of humour, we want to hear from you.

What’s Cooking at Big Loaf:

As our full-time Chef, you’ll be:

Cooking and prepping a rotating menu of bakery favourites – think loaded baguettes, our flavoursome focaccias, conti rolls, seasonal specials, all fresh, ready to fly out the door.

Crafting small-batch sauces, pickles, dressings, pestos, and more — all from scratch.

Working closely with our bakery and front-of-house teams to keep the kitchen flowing smoothly.

Bringing ideas to the table — we love creativity and input!

Keeping the kitchen humming with clean, organised, and efficient practices.

Previous experience as a CDP or a strong Commis ready to step up

Certificate III in Commercial Cookery (or equivalent qualification - desired but not essential)

A calm, organised approach

Passion for fresh produce, rustic food, and a hands-on kitchen culture

Reliability, good communication, and a positive team spirit

Valid working rights for Australia (no sponsorship)
