Cook Where the Land Meets the Sea

Welcome to Sooke Harbour House, one of Vancouver Island’s most iconic and celebrated culinary destinations. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, our kitchen is just steps away from some of the richest ecosystems on the coast—providing a direct line from the tidepools, forests, gardens, and local farms to the plate.

This isn’t just a job — it’s an opportunity to cook in a place that’s genuinely alive with inspiration. We’re looking for a skilled, passionate, and detail-oriented Line Cook to join our kitchen brigade and help deliver memorable, seasonal cuisine that’s true to the region.

About Us

At Sooke Harbour House, food is a way of life. We don’t just talk about local — we live it. From harvesting seaweed at low tide to foraging mushrooms from the forest edge, our menu is a celebration of where we are. Guests come here to disconnect, recharge, and dine with intention — and we strive to make every dish reflect that energy.

This is a chance to be part of a tight-knit, professionally run kitchen, led by experienced chefs and backed by a front-of-house team that values creativity, hospitality, and quality at every level.
