The Realm has long been a cornerstone of the Wellington hospitality scene. Located in the heart of Hataitai, it’s a go-to for locals craving everything from epic brunches and hearty dinners to cold beers and a lively weekend atmosphere. With a spacious garden bar, classic pub fare done well, and a steady stream of regulars, The Realm is a place where quality, consistency, and a great team vibe matter.

We’re on the hunt for a Sous Chef to support and help lead our kitchen brigade to success. This is a hands-on role for someone who knows how to keep the wheels turning during a busy service, and who’s passionate about creating food that keeps guests coming back.

What we’re looking for:
  • Previous experience as a Sous Chef or strong CDP ready to take the next step
  • Solid knowledge of kitchen operations, food safety and cost control
  • A calm, positive approach under pressure
  • Passion for great pub food
  • Strong communication and teamwork – we’re a tight crew who back each other
What’s in it for you:
  • Competitive wage and secure full-time role
  • A well-equipped kitchen and a strong support system
  • Opportunity to mentor junior team members
  • Discounts across our NZ and AU venues via New Zealand Venue Co
  • A company that values work-life balance and backs career growth
