WE'RE HIRING – CHEF WANTED!

Mackay Turf Club

Looking for a chef role that offers something a little different from the usual hospitality grind?

We're on the hunt for a passionate, reliable chef to join our team at Mackay Turf Club!

Our kitchen has its busy periods, with race days, weddings, corporate functions and special events, but we also have quieter times throughout the year.

The best part? This role offers the opportunity to enjoy a great work-life balance, with flexibility during our quieter periods to travel, explore other interests or simply enjoy some well-earned downtime!

We're looking for someone who:
- Has experience in catering and functions
- Can manage a kitchen and deliver quality food
- Is organised, reliable and works well under pressure
- Enjoys the variety of event-based hospitality

If you're a chef who loves the buzz of a busy event but also values having a life outside the kitchen, we'd love to hear from you!

📩 Interested? Send your resume or get in touch at [email protected]

Great events. Great team. A little more freedom. 🌴
