The Demi Chef supports the kitchen team with food preparation, cooking, plating and maintaining consistent quality across restaurant, banquet and room-service operations. Candidates should have commercial cookery training or relevant kitchen experience, sound knowledge of food safety and hygiene standards, and the ability to follow recipes and work efficiently under pressure. The role requires teamwork, flexibility to work varied shifts, attention to detail and a positive attitude. Expectations include maintaining a clean and organised work area, minimising waste, following workplace health and safety procedures, and consistently delivering food to Novotel standards. Previous hotel or high-volume kitchen experience is advantageous.
Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour is a large internationally branded hotel located beside Sydney’s famous Darling Harbour precinct. It forms part of Accor, a global hospitality group operating hotels, resorts and serviced residences across many countries and brands, including Novotel, ibis, Mercure, Pullman and Fairmont. The hotel serves leisure travellers, business guests, groups and event visitors, with accommodation, dining, meeting facilities and views across the harbour and city. Working at the property offers exposure to a busy city hotel environment, multicultural teams and varied food-and-beverage operations. Accor generally places emphasis on guest service, teamwork, professional development, inclusion and responsible hospitality. A Demi Chef can gain valuable experience in high-volume hotel kitchens while working with established operational standards and opportunities for progression within the wider Accor network.
Australia offers strong opportunities in hospitality, especially in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, regional resorts and coastal destinations. Chefs and kitchen professionals are often in demand, although competition and living costs can be high in major cities. Australian workplace culture is generally direct, practical and team-focused, with strong expectations around punctuality, safety, equality and professional conduct. Sydney provides excellent restaurants, beaches, public transport and cultural activities, but rent is among the country’s highest. Eligible applicants may use a Working Holiday visa, employer-sponsored visa or another skilled migration pathway; requirements depend on nationality, age, qualifications and occupation lists. Secure a valid work visa before starting employment, arrange accommodation and budget for transport, health insurance and initial living costs. International applicants should verify visa conditions through the Australian Department of Home Affairs and confirm whether the employer provides sponsorship.
