Serve with purpose. Grow through community.
Our community services and enforcement teams make a visible difference every day. You work with purpose and empathy, helping people feel safe, supported and connected. As a Child Care Cook, you prepare and serve nutritious meals and snacks that support the health, wellbeing and development of children attending our early learning centres.
You prepare meals and snacks each day, ensuring they are ready on time and meet the nutritional, cultural and dietary needs of children aged 0 to 5. You plan menus with the Centre Director, cater for individual dietary requirements, and order food, kitchen and cleaning supplies to keep the service running smoothly.
You maintain a clean, safe and hygienic kitchen, store food correctly, clean equipment and utensils, and ensure food preparation areas meet high food safety standards. You also attend staff meetings and training activities and contribute to the day to day operation of the centre.
Your work gives families confidence that their children's dietary needs are understood and supported. In return, you join a supportive workplace that values teamwork, safety and customer service, with opportunities to learn, grow and contribute to a service that families rely on every day.
If you enjoy cooking, take pride in maintaining a safe kitchen and want your work to make a difference to young children, this role could be a great fit for you.
