Beautiful Kimberley location – a unique experience

Excellent kitchen facilities – modern, clean, and well-equipped

Up to 12 weeks of leave per year

Your Key Responsibilities:

Plan, prepare, and serve healthy, buffet-style meals for students and staff

Work collaboratively with a small kitchen team (another cook/chef and kitchen hand)

Manage kitchen operations including stock control, ordering, and food preparation

Maintain a clean, organised, and hygienic kitchen at all times

Follow food safety and compliance standards

Build positive relationships with school staff and the broader community
