Lead an Aged Care Kitchen Where Great Food Creates Great Moments

Are you an experienced Servery Supervisor, Catering Manager, Kitchen Manager, Chef Manager, Hospitality Supervisor or Food Services Manager looking for a role where you can lead a team, create memorable dining experiences and enjoy a healthier work-life balance?

At Anglicare, food is much more than nutrition-it brings comfort, connection and joy. We're looking for an experienced hospitality leader to oversee our kitchen and dining services at Elizabeth Lodge, Rushcutters Bay, ensuring every resident enjoys safe, nutritious and delicious meals served with genuine care.

Why you'll love this role

- Lead and develop a team delivering exceptional kitchen and dining services.
- Oversee meal preparation, food presentation and service to ensure every resident enjoys a positive dining experience.
- Manage kitchen operations including ordering, stock control, rostering and food budgets.
- Ensure compliance with Food Safety Programs, HACCP principles and food safety legislation.

- Partner with clinical and lifestyle teams to continually improve menus and resident satisfaction.
- Coach, mentor and develop your team while fostering a positive food safety culture.
- Drive continuous improvement across food quality, service standards and compliance.
