Commis Chef

- Prepare and cook high-quality menu items while maintaining food safety standards.
- Support senior chefs during busy service periods.
We’re looking for an experienced and motivated full-time Commis Chef to join the team at The Cumberland in Pascoe Vale. If you’re all about good food, good people and a bit of controlled chaos â we’d like to hear from you.
You’ll work with a solid kitchen team who know how to get the job done, back each other, and still have a laugh when things get hectic. From prep to pass, it’s hands-on, fast-paced and never boring.
A new chapter begins at The Cumberland. Located on Cumberland Road in Pascoe Vale, The Cumberland is the reimagining of the former Pascoe Vale RSL â built around the idea of a true neighbourhood pub where locals can gather, share a drink and feel at home.
While our doors are open, this is just the beginning. The venue is evolving, with new dining experiences, refreshed spaces and a renewed focus on community still to come

What You’ll Be Doing In The Kitchen
- Cooking and prepping menu items to our high-quality standards
- Jumping in to support senior chefs with prep, plating and service when things get busy
