The Kindest Kind of Kitchen

Cook/Chef – Cubby Care Allambie Lane

At Cubby Care Allambie Lane, we believe some of the best moments of the day happen around the table — sharing food, trying something recent, having a chat and enjoying meals made with care.

We’re looking for a passionate and organised Cook/Chef to join Kerry and the wonderful Allambie Lane team and become an important part of our Kindest Kind of Kindy.

This isn’t just about preparing meals. Our Cook is part of our centre community — creating nutritious food for our children, getting to know their little likes and dislikes, supporting children with allergies and dietary needs, and bringing warmth and creativity into the kitchen every day.

What you’ll be doing
Preparing fresh, nutritious and child-friendly meals and snacks each day
Creating seasonal menus that are healthy, wide-ranging and appealing to little taste buds
Catering safely and confidently for allergies, intolerances and individual dietary requirements
Maintaining high standards of food safety, hygiene and kitchen organisation
Managing ordering, stock levels and kitchen budgets
Keeping accurate food safety and compliance records
Working closely with Kerry and the wider centre team




Being part of centre life and helping make mealtimes a positive experience for our children

What we’re looking for

We’d love someone who brings care, creativity and pride to what they do.

You’ll ideally have:
A relevant Food Safety Certificate
Experience cooking in an early childhood, school, aged care or similar environment
A robust understanding of allergies, dietary requirements and safe food handling
Great organisation and time-management skills
Confidence planning menus and working within a budget
A friendly, positive approach and willingness to be part of the wider centre team
A current Blue Card, or willingness to obtain one
First Aid certification, or willingness to obtain it if required

Why Cubby Care?

Because we believe kindness matters, for our children, our families and our people.

At Allambie Lane, you’ll be joining a supportive team led by our Centre Manager, Kerry, where your kitchen is an important part of the centre, your ideas are welcomed, and the food you prepare genuinely contributes to our children’s wellbeing, learning and sense of belonging.

If you love creating good food and want a role where what you do every day matters, we’d love to hear from you.
