As a family-owned aged care community, we have been providing respite, permanent and palliative care for more than 45 years. We pride ourselves on creating a warm, welcoming environment where residents genuinely enjoy mealtimes and where quality food is an important part of everyday life.

Has strong communication and teamwork skills.
Is flexible and willing to work across both Cook and Food Services Assistant roles.
Is organised, reliable and able to work independently.
