We're looking for a warm, capable and highly organised Plant-Based Cook & Family Support person for a long-term role with our family of four just south of Noosa.
Food is at the heart of the role.
We follow a whole-food, plant-based Medical Medium lifestyle and are looking for someone with an interest in health and wellbeing who is open-minded about learning our approach.
This role will suit someone who loves health-conscious cooking, enjoys being around children and takes pride in being useful.
You're naturally observant, enjoy anticipating what's needed next and gain genuine satisfaction from making life easier for others.
We run a wellness business from home and homeschool our children (6 and 12).
Life is full, and we want to put more of our energy into our children and our business and need help with all meals and carrying the daily household load.
The right person will make a meaningful difference to our family and will be greatly appreciated.
Our home is chemical-free and low-tox, and this role will suit someone who feels aligned with conscious, healthy living and enjoys contributing to family life and understands the gentle, responsive, respectful philosophy for treating children.
You have strong culinary instincts, understanding how flavours, textures and ingredients work together, with the creative flair to develop new meals within our dietary requirements.
You're a passionate cook who can create delicious meals from scratch, follow recipes accurately when needed, and confidently adapt ideas from cookbooks to suit our way of eating.
We'll initially teach you our Medical Medium approach,



family preferences and systems.
From there, we need someone who can take ownership of menu planning, create fun and appealing food for the kids, and keep bringing fresh ideas and variety to the table.
You love creating order just as much as you love creating food.
A beautifully organised kitchen, pantry and home give you satisfaction, and you bring the same care to practical household tasks as you do to cooking.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Plan weekly menus and take ownership of our family's day-to-day food preparation.
• Prepare delicious wholefood, plant-based, gluten-free and oil-free meals in line with our Medical Medium approach.
• Create fresh juices, smoothies, salads, snacks and baking.
• Develop and document recipes with exceptional flavour, complementary ingredient combinations and beautiful presentation.
• Bring variety through creative, seasonal and family-friendly meal ideas.
• Prepare food for home, outings and travel.
• Keep the kitchen, pantry, food storage and dishes impeccably clean and organised.
• Grocery shop and help with occasional errands.
• Pitch in with practical household support such as putting the bins out, unpacking groceries, laundry and household organisation.
• Spend time with our children when needed, whether that's playing with them, baking with them or stepping in while we finish work or appointments.
YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU




• Love cooking and care deeply about whether people enjoy what you make.
• Work quickly and efficiently, with excellent knife skills and a strong sense of pace.
• Think ahead, take initiative and follow things through without needing constant direction.
• Are warm, patient, playful and respectful with children.
• Are comfortable working independently and collaborating with us when needed.
• Are discreet, professional and respectful of the privacy of a family home.
• You're emotionally mature, dependable and open to feedback, and you communicate directly and honestly.
• You value trust, clear expectations and accountability, and you're comfortable asking questions so everyone can work well together.
• Want a reliable, long-term role where reliability, high standards and mutual respect matter.
REQUIREMENTS
• Experience as a private chef, family cook or similar
• Strong wholefood, plant-based cooking skills
• Comfortable and confident around children
• Driver's licence and own vehicle
• Current ABN and ability to invoice for hours worked
• Police Check
