If you enjoy seeing people smile when a plate hits the table, this could be your perfect next role.

  • Assisting with menu preparation and stock control
  • Working collaboratively with the village team to ensure residents feel cared for and respected

You’ll bring:

  • Previous experience as a Cook working in a fast paced environment (aged care, hospitality, or similar)
  • A passion for food, with creativity and attention to detail in menu planning, food presentation, and flavour combinations.
  • Strong knowledge of food safety and WHS requirements
  • Ability to satisfy pre-employment checks, including a National Police History Check.
