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.

Holds a Certificate III in Commercial Cookery or equivalent qualification.
Has experience working as a Cook, Chef or Catering Cook.
Takes pride in producing high-quality meals and presentation.
Enjoys working with older people and understands the importance of mealtimes in aged care.
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.
