Job Description

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 n
