Easter Seals Jobs

We believe every plate tells a story. So, we’re searching for a Head Chef with a palate for serving up dishes that will create moments of delight. Whenever and wherever our guests choose to dine. Behind the scenes, you’ll ensure quality, maintain high standards and keep the kitchen running smoothly.

In this role, the Head Chef will have the creativity and freedom to express themselves/their cooking style, and will be part of a tight-knit family-like environment.

Located within walking distance to Kings Park, Holiday Inn West Perth is IHG’s first Perth property outside of the City Centre. Part of the hotel’s charm is the former 1902 Walsh Family residence which sits at the front of the property as a destination restaurant, Julio’s Italian Restaurant .

Julio’s is Perth's favourite award-winning Italian restaurant where you are welcomed by a passionate team, and can enjoy an Italian cicchetti menu, fresh house made pasta, and a spread of hearty mains. We are proud to have been awarded the prestigious Australian Good Food Guide Reader's Choice Award in 2023 for “Italian Restaurant”.
