Kitchen Hand

The Role

Spicers Hidden Vale have an exciting new opportunity for a casual Kitchen Hand to join our team!

As a member of our Salter Brothers Hospitality team, you’ll play a key role in creating meaningful experiences for both our guests and teammates through thoughtful service, attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous improvement. 

About Homage Restaurant  

Set on 12,000 acres, just one hour from Brisbane and upon some of the most fertile farming soil in the Southern Hemisphere, Homage Restaurant has a real sense of place. With offerings from an outdoor coal pit, smokehouse, wood-fire and rotisserie. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do - including sustainability of our people.   

We have an 89-bed market garden, fermentation room, orchard, bee hives and free range farm onsite, meaning that much of the produce is from Spicers Hidden Vale itself and anything that’s not, is collected directly from nearby farms. It's the small things, like ‘family meal time’ before service, having the opportunity to work outside in the garden and interacting with our guests that make the difference.
