Chef – Ocean Exmouth (Seafront Venue)

Build your skills across multiple kitchen styles in one unique venue.
Full-time hours, including evenings and weekend shifts.

Ocean Exmouth is entering an exciting new chapter. With a new Head Chef on board, we’re transforming our food offer—raising
standards, refreshing menus, and creating a kitchen we’re proud of.

We’re now looking for a Chef to join our growing team and be part of this journey from the ground up.

What makes this role different

* Work across multiple dining styles in one building
* Gain broad, hands-on experience in a fast-paced, varied kitchen
* Learn from an experienced and supportive Head Chef
* Be part of a newly evolving kitchen with real opportunities to grow
* Our integrated Procure Wizard system, linked to tills for accurate stock and smoother operations

This could suit:

* Someone starting out in hospitality who wants to build a career in the kitchen

Ideally, you’ll bring:

* Be part of a newly shaped kitchen team with a clear vision
* Gain experience across a wide range of food styles and service types
* Real opportunities to progress as you develop your skills
* A friendly, supportive and encouraging team culture
* Work in a stunning seafront location
