About You:
• Previous experience in a café, canteen, or commercial kitchen is essential
• You might not be a qualified chef, but you know your way around food prep and baking
• You’re customer-focused, friendly, and professional
• Able to work independently and take initiative
• Organised, reliable, and able to manage time effectively in a busy environment

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants a role they can really take ownership of and make their own, within a supportive school environment.

You will enjoy a modern upgraded kitchen environment, support to be creative with menu ideas and options, and school holidays off. Additional hours may be available by mutual agreement to cover gaps in the roster and provide support for functions.
