Kitchen Hand
Albany,
Australia
Application opening date : 07/10/2025
Venice Pizza Bar and Restaurant is more than just a place to eat – we are a destination for unforgettable moments and cherished memories. Located in Albany, we are passionate about delivering warm, genuine hospitality alongside great food in a welcoming, family-friendly environment. As part of the Aspire Hospitality Group, we offer our team real growth opportunities, a supportive culture, and the chance to be part of something special.
We are on the lookout for reliable, hard-working Kitchen Hands to join our kitchen team. This is a genuinely hands-on, physical role – you will be on your feet for the full duration of every shift, working at pace in a busy commercial kitchen. If you take pride in cleanliness, work well under pressure, and enjoy being a key part of a team that makes great service possible, we want to hear from you.
This is not a passive role. You will be expected to work hard from the moment you arrive, keep up with the pace of a busy service, and take real ownership of your responsibilities in the kitchen.
Key Responsibilities
- Actively assist chefs with food preparation duties throughout the shift – including peeling, chopping, portioning, and measuring ingredients.
- Manage the dish station continuously throughout service, ensuring clean crockery, glassware, and equipment are available to the kitchen team at all times.
- Maintain workstations and all kitchen areas to a high standard of cleanliness throughout service – not just at the end of the shift.
- Assist with receiving and storing deliveries, rotating stock, and maintaining a well-organised cool room and dry store.
- Occasionally support front-of-house staff with glassware cleaning as required.
- Carry out end-of-shift cleaning duties including mopping, degreasing, and ensuring the kitchen is left in a safe and hygienic condition.
- Perform all additional preparation and cleaning duties as directed by the Head Chef.
- Comply with all WHS and food safety requirements throughout every shift.

- Must be available to work a rotating roster Tuesday to Sunday – this is a must!
- A current Police Check is required for applicants over 18 years old.
