CAREERS

At WYM, we work hard to create a warm and welcoming space; for our customers and for each other. We’re a small team, based in a beautiful garden setting, and we show up with energy and care every day.

The café can go from peaceful to pumping in no time, so being calm, capable, and team-focused is key.

We look for people who take pride in their work, communicate well, and can keep up when things get busy. If you enjoy starting your day surrounded by nature and good people (and puppos), we would love to hear from you.

  • Part Time or Casual | 10 hrs +

    We’ve got room for a part-time chef/cook to join our kitchen team.

    The role leans towards tapas-style plates and event catering, with some café classics in the mix too. If you’re organised, creative, and love being part of a small team, you’ll fit right in.

    Important note: This role is all about daytime and afternoon service. No late nights.

    WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

    • Preparing consistently high-quality tapas, grazing boards, cafe and event-style dishes

    • Assisting with menu development

    • Contributing to catering setups and smooth event service

    • Keeping the kitchen clean, safe, and efficient

    • Helping with ordering, rotation, and reducing food waste

    • Communicating with FOH, BOH & event staff so service runs like clockwork

    • Supporting the team with general café tasks when extra hands are needed

    ABOUT YOU:

    • Weekend availability

    • 2+ years experience as a commercial cook or chef in a cafe (or commercial kitchen)

    • Solid understanding of food safety standards, allergen management, and safe handling practices

    • Proficiency in preparing, cooking, and plating a diverse menu with consistency

    • Ability to stay calm under pressure and communicate well

    • A passion for a positive team culture through both FOH and BOH

    • Willingness to learn

    • RSA certificate

    Extras we’d love (but aren’t essential): barista or bar skills, supplier knowledge, and good banter.

    ABOUT WYM

    We’re based in the Geelong Botanic Gardens and operate as a café/bar by day, with catering and events adding another layer to what we do. We’re all about creating memorable moments. Whether that’s a routine morning cuppa, a birthday celebration, or a gathering for a wedding under the trees.

    WHAT WE VALUE

    • Keep it humble: Pride in the food, but no ego.

    • Be genuine: Honest, accountable, and dependable.

    • Choose kindness: Respectful, calm, and professional, even when it’s hectic.
