You are searching for a role that balances your passion for great food with time for a life away from work. We recognise your reservations about working as a cook in aged care, but we want you to bring your creativity to our residents who value and place real importance on great food and great dining experiences.
You have the experience and the ideas, so we will support you with the autonomy to run your own kitchen while working stable weekday morning and afternoon hours. You now have the chance to swap the challenges of an aggressive commercial kitchen for the challenges of exploring and applying dietary considerations as you craft great food.
We are a not-for-profit organisation, but more importantly, we are like one big family and treat each of our residents, families, and team members with the same levels of passion, care, and respect. We are hoping you will join our fantastic Whiddon family at Wingham, in the mid-north coast region of NSW, on a permanent basis.
