Job Description

n

We believe that outstanding food is one of life's greatest pleasures—and for our residents, it is often the highlight of their day. We aren't just looking for someone who can follow a recipe; we're looking for a Chef who understands that a perfectly poached egg or a beautifully presented roast is an act of care.

n

In this role, you'll take the lead in our kitchen ensuring our residents enjoy nutritious, high-quality, and delicious meals in a warm, community-focused environment.

n

What You'll Be Doing

n

- Leading the Kitchen: Managing the meal service.
n
- Catering to Everyone: Preparing standard menus alongside specialized textures and dietary requirements with dignity and care.
n
- Quality Control: Ensuring every plate that leaves the pass meets our high standards for taste, temperature, and presentation.
n
- Compliance: Maintaining kitchen hygiene and food safety records.
n
- Teamwork: Working alongside a small, dedicated team to create a calm, efficient service.
n

Desired Skills and Experience

Who You Are

n
- A Skilled Professional: You hold a Certificate III in Commercial Cookery.
n
- Experience-Driven: You've worked in a fast-paced kitchen, and while aged care experience is a plus, a background in hotels, hospitals, or busy cafes is highly valued.
n
- Empathetic & Patient: You understand that our residents are our priority. You're happy to tweak a dish to make someone's day better.
n

Why Join Us?

n
- Work-Life Balance: No "split shifts" or late-night finishes.
n
- Purpose-Driven Work: See the immediate impact of your skills on the well-being of our residents.
n
- Modern Facilities: Work in a clean, well-equipped, and supportive environment.
n
