Big games, big atmosphere and a crew that makes it all happen. We're looking for people who love hospitality, thrive when it's busy and know how to make everyone feel part of the action. Sound like your kind of team? Come work at Sports & Rec.

Sports & Rec Wellington is looking for a skilled Sous Chef to support our Head Chef and lead the team through busy services. You’ll oversee prep and cooking across the kitchen, maintain communication between the front and back of house, and ensure every dish meets our quality and timing standards. You’ll also help manage ordering, costs, training, and kitchen organisation, stepping up when the Head Chef is away. To succeed in this role, you’ll need at least two years’ experience as a Senior Chef de Partie or Sous Chef, an NCEA Level 4 qualification in cookery, and leadership experience or a strong desire to develop those skills. You’ll thrive under pressure, enjoy mentoring others, and bring creativity and consistency to every service.
