Sous Chef

At Caravan, we share a love of mighty fine coffee, hand crafted good food and friendly vibes. Since 2010, we have built our award-winning restaurants and roastery as well as investing time, money and resources into initiatives that have a positive impact on the world around us. We believe in pushing boundaries and challenging perceptions, championing people, community, diversity, inclusion and sustainability.

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to invite a fun, talented, prolific Sous Chef who knows how to support & inspire a team, and who's passionate about cuisine and wants to share that passion with their team & guests. We would love to hear from you if you’re up for a new venture and a fresh start. It’s an exciting time to join us as we’re looking forward to expanding in the coming years, with new openings on the horizon.

Development and career progression, 80% of all our management roles are filled internally.

What you'll be doing as a Caravan Sous Chef:

You’ll be serving up our ‘well-travelled’ food, which is inspired by flavours from our founders’ native New Zealand, as well as their global travels.

Support the restaurant team with our ‘Caravan of Love’ customer experience

You will work with your Head Chef to nurture and develop your team leading them from the front in every service.

You will be open to learning in order to develop your knowledge and skills and you’ll take ownership of your role and your kitchen.

We work with Fourth, FnB and Harri so it would be great if you have experience with these systems, although we can always show you the ropes if you haven’t.

We live by 4 core values. We expect our Sous Chef and all our teams to live, promote and role model these values at all times;

Caravan of Love

No boundaries

Well-travelled

All welcome

We expect our teams to support environmental stewardship targets and efficiency goals by following departmental environmental policies and monitoring own usage of vital resources such as energy, disposable goods, and food waste, to name a few.

All our teams must respect individual differences with regards to identity, national and cultural background, and level of experience in all interactions while at work, including with members of the public.
