There’s something special about the smell of fresh bread baking and a kitchen filled with valuable food and happy chatter.

At Little Farm Early Learning in Byford, we’re looking for a Centre Cook who loves creating nourishing meals and brings warmth, care and a little kitchen magic to our community.

Food is an important part of life at Little Farm. With fresh, organically grown produce from our large produce garden and eggs from our farmer friends, you’ll have lovely ingredients and plenty of inspiration for your menus.

We want our children to enjoy wholesome, tasty food, discover new flavours and make connections between what grows in the garden and what lands on their plates.

You’ll spend your days:

- Preparing fresh, nutritious meals and snacks that children look forward to.

- Planning varied, balanced menus that make the most of seasonal garden produce.

- Carefully catering for allergies, intolerances and individual dietary requirements.

- Following our food safety program and keeping a clean, organised kitchen.

- Managing food ordering, stock and supplies thoughtfully.

- Adding that extra feeling of home with freshly baked bread,



muffins or other homemade goodies for our wonderful families to enjoy.

We’d love to meet someone who:

- Enjoys cooking from scratch and has experience preparing meals for groups.

- Understands children’s nutritional needs and enjoys menu planning.

- Has sound knowledge of food safety programs, safe food handling and allergy practices.

- Is organised, reliable and comfortable managing the daily running of a clean , and beautifully spacious kitchen.

- Brings a friendly manner and enjoys being part of a team.

- Greets our families with great warmth

- Believes a good meal—and a little home baking—can help people feel welcome and cared for.

Experience in an early learning kitchen would be lovely. Just as valuable is someone who takes pride in their cooking, cleanliness , understands the responsibility of catering for children and enjoys contributing to a caring community.

Come and help make Little Farm feel like home.

Apply through SEEK with your résumé and a short introduction. We’d love to hear about your cooking experience and what you’d bring to our kitchen!
