Chefs

Hey everyone,

Tara Iti Golf Club in New Zealand is looking for 3 passionate kitchen people to join our team for the upcoming season, October 2026 through April 2027, with some flexibility on dates. The club consistently ranks among the best golf courses in the world.

The following roles are open:

1 Kitchen Hand
1 Chef de Partie
1 Event Chef (experience with events and private dinners preferred)

What the role looks like: we cook for discerning golf club members, so solid kitchen foundations matter. There's also genuine creative freedom. We work from set menus as a base, but member preferences shape a lot of what we do. That keeps things fresh and interesting. No two days are quite the same.

What we offer: accommodation, relocation assistance to help you get here, market rate pay depending on your role, and an incredible setting on the Northland coast of New Zealand. You'll work within a tight, supportive kitchen team.

This role suits chefs from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, Europe, USA, Canada, or Japan who are under 30 and eligible for a New Zealand Working Holiday Visa. The timing lines up well with our summer season while your home country heads into winter.

To apply or ask questions, email us directly at [email address removed]. Tell us about yourself, your experience, and why you want to come to New Zealand.

Tara Iti is a special place. Come be part of it.
