The Sous Chef supports the Executive Chef in managing daily kitchen operations at Raffles Bali. Candidates should have professional culinary training and several years of experience in a luxury hotel, resort, or high-end restaurant, preferably in a supervisory role. Strong knowledge of food preparation, HACCP and hygiene standards, menu execution, portion control, costing, and kitchen safety is expected. The successful candidate will lead and coach kitchen colleagues, maintain consistent quality, coordinate service across outlets, monitor stock and waste, and help create an efficient, respectful working environment. Flexibility, creativity, attention to detail, calm leadership under pressure, and willingness to work shifts, weekends, and public holidays are essential. English communication skills are generally expected; knowledge of Bahasa Indonesia is an advantage.
Raffles Bali is a luxury resort in Jimbaran, on Bali’s southern coastline, operated by Raffles Hotels & Resorts, part of Accor. The property is known for private villas, personalized butler service, refined dining, wellness experiences, and panoramic views over Jimbaran Bay. Raffles positions itself around discreet, highly attentive hospitality and a strong sense of place, combining international luxury standards with Balinese culture and design. As part of Accor, the resort provides access to a global hospitality network, structured brand standards, training opportunities, and employee benefits that may vary by location and contract. A Sous Chef joining the team would typically work in a demanding, service-focused culinary environment supporting multiple outlets, events, and resort dining experiences. The role offers exposure to luxury operations, multicultural teams, and Bali’s distinctive local ingredients and culinary traditions.
Bali is Indonesia’s most established tourism island and offers opportunities in luxury hotels, restaurants, villas, wellness, events, and travel services. Hospitality professionals can find work particularly in Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, and Sanur, although competition is strong and local experience is valued. Balinese culture is community-oriented, spiritual, and closely connected to Hindu ceremonies, temples, family, and village traditions; respectful dress and behavior are important. The lifestyle combines beaches, outdoor activities, arts, nightlife, and relatively affordable living, though popular areas have rising rents and traffic. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate Indonesian employment visa; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Employers generally handle immigration documentation, but candidates should confirm the visa type, fees, accommodation, insurance, working hours, and benefits before relocating. Learning basic Bahasa Indonesia is highly useful for daily life and workplace integration.
