Brown_Gooding Co Pty Ltd t/as The Good Farm Shop - Brookvale NSW
Part-time/Full-time (flexible for the right candidate)
Hours are 7am to 2:30pm/3:00pm, Mon-Thu or Mon-Fri
$40/hour + Super
We're looking for a highly experienced cook or chef to join our kitchen team in Brookvale. This role is perfect for someone who loves working with exceptional ingredients, creating seasonal dishes, and being part of a collaborative kitchen. This is different to working in a cafe or restaurant, as we cook in batches in large brat pans. You'll work alongside other cooks to prepare our menu, contribute ideas, and help deliver consistently excellent food. In our small team, everyone supports each other - whether it's prepping vegetables, portioning meals, or jumping in to help with meat prep. We work side by side, sharing the load to make sure our customers always get the highest quality food.
Key responsibilities
- Work collaboratively with the team to complete daily production tasks
- Prepare vegetables, meats, sauces, and other components for meals
- Assemble and portion ready meals to recipes and quality standards
- Assist with meat preparation, including trimming, portioning, and marinating
- Jump in to support other areas of the kitchen when needed
- Help develop and test new seasonal dishes
- Maintain high standards of kitchen hygiene and food safety
- Maintain high standards of food quality, consistency and presentation
- Assist with stock rotation, ordering, and inventory as required
- Help minimise waste and respect the quality of the ingredients we use
About you
- Highly experienced cook or chef (5+ years preferred) in a commercial or production kitchen
- Experience using a brat pan would be great, but not essential - training provided
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail - able to follow recipes and batch quantities accurately
- A strong work ethic, reliable and positive
- A genuine team player who contributes positively to the culture of our business
- Flexible and willing to step into different tasks as needed
- Strong knife skills and confidence with meat handling
- Passion for seasonal, sustainable, and regenerative food
- Strong understanding of Food Safety standards and Food Safety Certificate (or willingness to obtain)
