Cater Care

The company is so busy with their heads up there butt trying to compete with big companies like sodexo they don't stop to think that if they did what they preached and looked after there staff instead of forcing unrealistic work conditions on people often forcing you into the situation of either jobs aren't complete which can be a bit of issue when it's peoples food or rooms to sleep in or you do unpaid overtime as the company would rather wrestle a crocodile then actually look after you.
Coming out for the money? Think again with the removal of award rates coming up you could make more money at McDonald's and at least get treated like more then a number.  If your not salaried you get the nice "do the same job same quality but for less money" speech and then they try and make you feel like there doing you a favour because you still have a job.
End of story use them.to jump ship to something better just prepare for the no lube attack first

My Typical day at work is daily prestart meeting in the morning, discussing work department duties and the important of safety at work. Daily Accommodation and Financial reports sent to our client to analyse business activity, update, OHS records, payroll, accounts, labour trends, in a office environment for about fourteen hours per day. I have learnt a lot working as a Project manager for Cater Care Services, how to manage labour correctly, staying within budget, and how to forecast financial planning, and how to manage the business over all better and more efficient. The hardest part of the job, consistently dealing with staffing issues, putting in place, work improvement plans, performance review meetings, which can take a lot of time out of my day. The most enjoyable part of the job is training an new employee and able to mould them into something you need for the future. My Co-workers are a good bunch of people fun and enjoyable to work with. Cater care Services is a good company to work for in the hospitality/mining industry, the past five and half years, my life has changed with a young family, I need to seek employment back in Perth, which cater care Services only specialist in the mining sector outside Perth metro area.

The area I worked Incitec Pivot was a large industrial island at murarrie.

My job was to early in the morning exchange and replace Boxes of milk cartons from the many populated areas in that worksite island.
Then to deliver catering from murarrie to brisbane city.

The work was fine, however I was doing a lot of heavy lifting for long periods transporting boxes of milk cartons, which has no real back friendly way of lifting.

When I was new I was not adequately prepared after 2 visits to remember over 20 locations (which was expected as per the job)

Often deliveries could be late from the kitchen, which would mean I would have to rush to deliver on time.

A lot of driving,

Working the pipeline is not unfortunately a permanent ongoing position, simply the nature of the beast, once pipeline is constructed the work is over.
I have found this type of work very challenging and rewarding tho, having never had to move camps as the work proceeded along.
The longer stint, 28 and 9, doesn't phase me, tho it's definately not for everyone, I have seen a lot of people come and go. 
Cater Care Services have paid very well on this job and been supportive of staff in these challenging roles. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A typical day at work would consist of accuracy in reports and booking external courses.
Developing Online content for in house courses.
Liaising with managers on Indigenous programs and implementing Training plans.
Work with site managers assisting with the EPR process and summaries.
Facilitation of Induction process/ Training the trainer and training management.
Training in customer service , going to site`s and training.
Facilitation of CPR & 1st Aid.
Training Apprentice Chef`s on the job.
These were all the most enjoyable parts of my job within CCS.

Working as a casual utility fifo in WA was good,as got to go to many different places - the staff you work with are all pretty good,and friendly and generally want to work as a team - but management is very under qualified and equiped with knowledge on how to deal with serious issues when it comes to staff harrassement safety and most daily staff handling duties.Also head management were not also good in dealing with serious staff issues.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing except helping old people 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Poor management and constant understaffing. The workplace is often disorganised, and staff are expected to handle unrealistic workloads on their own. Breaks are not always provided, and workers are criticised for being slow even when the workload is too much.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, understaffed, supportive but useless

Fast paced environment, 2 weeks on, 1 week off. Worked for my family.
.
Loved working for Catercare

I had the opportunity to not just work for a great company, I travelled Australia and worked in some of Australia's most remote areas. 

Everyday there were challenges on the job, wether it be short staffed, food delivery not showing up due to roads washed out, trucks breaking down etc.

These challenges make you thrive on the job and that motivation helps you solve some of your challenges.

Loved it.....

Organizing our kitchens and chefs with our daily menu's production, health and safety, HACCP, ordering, liaising with our clients, replacing our catering managers. Had a fantastic relation with my co workers and clients. Have been satisfied with my daily duties, with many positive feed back.
The only major challenge we had was, that we have been going through 18 catering managers in one year. And had the extra daily workload training with more then the half of them.
