Kitchen Hand / Housekeeper – Outback Queensland (4015145)

Kitchen Hand / Housekeeper – Outback Queensland

🔥 OUTBACK PUB POWERHOUSE WANTED – KITCHEN HAND + HOUSEKEEPER 🔥

Immediate Start – Live-In 

Only one position available – not suitable for couples.

Tired of city chaos? Ready to jump into the real heartbeat of outback Australia?

This is an owner-operated, tight-knit country pub where the whole team lives and works together – think big personalities, genuine mateship, and a proper family vibe with only 10 or so staff on site.

This is high-octane, fast-paced kitchen action in a busy remote venue — no room for slow days. If you’ve thrived in a similar high-pressure pub or remote hotel kitchen before, we want to hear from you RIGHT NOW.

What you’ll be doing:

• Smashing out kitchen hand duties + dish pit at lightning speed
• Prepping, plating & running meals like a pro
• Assisting chefs with basic cooking & running the pass 
• Jumping on catering orders when they roll in
• Helping with housekeeping when needed
• Occasional bottle-shop or bar shifts
• Whatever else keeps this buzzing venue flying

The money & lifestyle package (you’ll actually save):

• $33.38/hr Mon–Fri
• $40.05/hr Saturday
• $46.73/hr Sunday
• Only $100/week for your own pub-style room (upstairs in the hotel)
• 50% off meals – eat like a king without breaking the bank
• Share bathroom facilities – basic but clean & functional
• No kitchen or cooking facilities available (staff has access to microwave, air fryer, kettle though – no full cooking)

You MUST have:

• Proven experience in a fast-paced pub / remote hotel kitchen (non-negotiable)
• Current RSA
• Rock-solid work ethic & can-do attitude
• Preferably some remote/outback experience

We especially want:

• Someone looking to commit for at least 6 months
• Bonus points if you’ve handled the unique rhythm of outback hospitality before

Full Telstra coverage, sealed road access, Greyhound bus & nearby airport connections, basic town shops – everything you need without the crowds.
This is proper outback adventure + proper pay + proper team spirit.

Only experienced, reliable people need apply — no beginners in this high-pressure environment.

Don’t wait – these spots fill fast in the bush! 💥
