Chef Wanted 👨🍳🔥
Busy kitchens. Great team. Coastal lifestyle.
We’re looking for a chef to join the team at The Mossy — a group of vibrant coastal cafés located in Mossy Point, Broulee and Batemans Bay on the beautiful NSW South Coast.
The Mossy cafés have become something of an institution in the region, operating successfully for more than 10 years. Locals love us, visitors seek us out, and during peak holiday periods our venues are buzzing with energy and excitement.
Outside of peak season, things slow down and the vibe becomes more relaxed — the perfect balance between high-energy service and a chilled coastal lifestyle.
Our kitchens deliver restaurant-quality food in a relaxed café environment, serving great local coffee and fresh, vibrant menus. We’re proud of our reputation and of the strong team culture we’ve built along the way.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll ideally have at least 2 years’ experience in a commercial kitchen and be comfortable working in a high-volume venue.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who:
• enjoys the buzz of a busy service
• takes pride in producing great food
• has strong attention to detail
• works well in a team
• brings a positive attitude to the kitchen
• values lifestyle just as much as a rewarding job
Why work with us?
Hospitality doesn’t have to mean burnout.
At The Mossy we’ve built kitchens that are busy, professional and supportive, where people can grow their skills and enjoy coming to work.
✔ Early starts, early finishes
✔ No nights
✔ No split shifts
✔ Supportive, collaborative team environment
✔ Strong leadership and experienced management
✔ Opportunities to grow within the business
✔ Work in one of the most beautiful coastal regions in NSW
You’ll be working just minutes from some of the best beaches on the South Coast, with incredible national parks, great local communities, and endless outdoor activities.
The role
As a chef you will:
• prepare and cook menu items to a high standard
• maintain presentation and consistency
• perform efficiently during busy services
• maintain a clean and organised workstation
• assist with prep and kitchen operations
• follow food safety and hygiene standards
• contribute positively to a supportive team culture
Ready to join the team?
If you’re looking for a kitchen where you can work hard, develop your skills and still enjoy life outside of work, we’d love to hear from you.
Please note: You should have a minimum up to 2 years previous experience in the above or similar roles.
This role is in a regional location so it's preferable that applicants have their own transport as public transport is infrequent. Alternatively you will need to live within walking/riding distance to the venue. Short-term accommadation within walking distance can be provided for 3 months to assist with relocation.

ENDS Not Specified
At The Mossy, we operate three vibrant cafés located along the stunning Eurobodalla coastline in Mossy Point, Broulee and Batemans Bay. Each venue has its own character, but they share the same philosophy: relaxed coastal hospitality paired with genuinely great food. Our cafés offer a laid-back atmosphere that reflects the lifestyle of the South Coast, but behind the scenes we run professional, well-organised kitchens that deliver restaurant-quality food in a café environment. We work with quality ingredients, take pride in presentation, and serve excellent locally roasted coffee. We’re fortunate to be located in one of the most beautiful parts of New South Wales. The area offers an incredible coastal lifestyle with pristine beaches, national parks, great schools, and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation — from surfing and fishing to mountain biking and kayaking. It’s the kind of place where people come for a holiday and end up staying. We've built a strong, supportive team culture. Our kitchens are busy, but they’re well managed and respectful places to work. We believe hospitality can be both professional and enjoyable, and we work hard to create an environment where people can develop their skills and enjoy coming to work each day. For chefs and hospitality professionals looking for something different from the usual city grind, The Mossy offers the opportunity to work in great venues with fantastic people, while enjoying an exceptional coastal lifestyle.
