Minimum 30 hours per week

Do you enjoy variety? With 4 kitchens and 2 cafes within the Northland region, we have a rare opportunity for a passionate, adaptable, and flexible, hands-on Cook who enjoys the variety of working across all these sites.

With various size age care kitchens, an industrial cafeteria and public Cafe, this role will keep you on your toes Ranging in cooking styles, service times and quantities your week can change from filing cabinets at our café, catering for a function, or providing good wholesome meals for residents.

This is a permanent position, based in Whangarei, to cover team members when on leave or training days. With a guaranteed 30 hours a week, a competitive hourly rate and a monthly fuel allowance.

You will need to be adaptable and flexible, able to juggle multiple tasks at the same time, and thrive working across a range of settings. The challenge of this role is that no two days are the same - one day you are cooking and serving in one of our busy cafes, the next day you are working as part of a team preparing and serving food for a large resthome (and everything in between). This means you will be a good all-round chef able to deliver wholesome meals, café style food, and bake.

This position is a pivotal part of our team and requires a chef with a minimum of 3 years’ experience.
