Job Description

Join the opening team at one of Tasmania’s most unique hospitality destinations.

Glencoe is seeking a reliable, hardworking, and enthusiastic Kitchen Hand to become part of their opening team on Tasmania’s stunning east coast.

Set within a beautifully restored 1820 homestead on a working coastal farm, Glencoe is creating a dining experience that celebrates Tasmania’s people, produce, landscape, and heritage.  This is an exciting opportunity to be involved from the very beginning and contribute to the success of a venue that is set to become one of the east coast’s premier hospitality destinations.

About Glencoe

Glencoe combines history, hospitality, and the natural beauty of Tasmania’s east coast.  Home to a new restaurant, weddings, private dining experiences, farm tours, and events, every aspect of the business is built around authenticity, craftsmanship, and exceptional guest experiences.

Our kitchen showcases the finest Tasmanian produce, with a focus on seasonality, traditional techniques, woodfire cooking, and attention to detail.

About the Role

As a Kitchen Hand, you will be an essential member of the kitchen team, helping maintain a clean, organised, and efficient workplace while supporting chefs during preparation and service.

This role is ideal for someone looking to start or further their career in hospitality.  Previous experience is helpful, but a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to learn are what matter most.

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain cleanliness throughout all kitchen and food preparation areas
  • Wash dishes, utensils, cookware, and kitchen equipment
  • Assist chefs with basic food preparation tasks
  • Receive, unpack, and correctly store deliveries
  • Ensure waste and recycling areas are managed appropriately

  • Enjoys being part of a team
  • Is eager to learn and develop new skills
  • Pays attention to detail
  • Respects the people they work alongside and the environment they work within
  • Takes pride in contributing to a successful service

Experience

While previous kitchen hand, hospitality, or food service experience is advantageous, it is not essential.  We are happy to train the right person who demonstrates enthusiasm, commitment, and a willingness to learn.

Why Join Glencoe?

  • Be part of an exciting new hospitality venture from day one
  • Work in a stunning east coast Tasmanian location
  • Join a supportive and professional team environment
  • Learn from experienced hospitality professionals and chefs
  • Opportunities for career development and progression within hospitality
  • Experience working across restaurant service, weddings, private dining, and events
  • Work with a business that values quality, teamwork, and professionalism

What we are looking for

At Glencoe, attitude matters.  We are seeking people who genuinely care about the quality of their work and want to be part of building something special.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • Enjoy working behind the scenes to support a successful service
  • Take initiative and stay busy
  • Value teamwork and collaboration
  • Want to contribute to a positive workplace culture
  • Have pride in doing the small things exceptionally well

Join Glencoe and help create memorable experiences in a place where Tasmania’s history, hospitality, and landscape come together.
