The Duxton
Job Description
The Duxton is one of Canberra’s most established venues, with a 90-seat à la carte restaurant, full bar, and large function capacity.
We run a quality kitchen with a live fire chargrill and a menu that genuinely reflects the season.
We’re looking for a skilled Sous Chef or Senior CDP to join our leadership team full-time.
This is a genuine second-in-command role — not just a section hand. You’ll work directly alongside the Head Chef to run services, lead the brigade, and own the kitchen when it counts.
What the role looks like
Running à la carte service across a busy restaurant and bar operation
Leading and mentoring a team of full-time and casual kitchen staff
Managing prep, stock control, ordering, and food safety compliance
Holding the kitchen in the Head Chef’s absence — confidently and independently
What we need from you
Proven experience at Sous Chef or strong Senior CDP level
Ability to run a full service independently — this is non-negotiable
Strong à la carte skills and section discipline
Team-first attitude with genuine leadership capability
Full working rights in Australia
Cert III in Commercial Cookery or equivalent experience
What we offer
$75,000–$85,000 + super, based on experience
Stable, well-structured kitchen with a loyal team
Clear progression pathway
Click apply or send your resume and a brief cover letter to duxton@theduxton.com.au
Pay: $75,000.00 – $85,000.00 per year
Benefits:
Employee discount
Free food
Professional development assistance
Work Location: In person
