What We’re Looking For:

• Experience as a chef or cook — ideally in childcare, aged care, or similar community settings

• Food Safety Supervisor Certificate (or willingness to obtain)

• Strong organisation skills, reliability, and a love for running a tidy, efficient kitchen

• A warm, caring approach to cooking — meals made with heart and purpose

• Someone who enjoys being part of a team and contributing to a positive, home-like environment for children
