We are looking for a passionate Food Coordinator to join our Wembley Downs team.

The position is a part-time role, working Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 1.30pm, but we can be a little flexible on the start time.

The role is preparing and cooking nutritional meals for the children in our service.

While you may not be directly working with the children, you must have a warm and friendly nature. It is possible that you will be required to answer a variety of questions including but not limited to; who you are, what you are cooking, and ‘but why’.

Relationships are important within our team, as effective teamwork provides stability, job satisfaction and helps us navigate the day successfully. We have events for our team outside work hours such as our end of year expo, staff dinners, bus rallies and even nights away so we can relax and celebrate our successes together.

If this sounds like the position for you, we'd love to hear from you.

We believe that mealtimes are a great social experience where all children sit together to share a meal. In partnership, our role is to help develop healthy meal options and provide children with whole foods and healthy food choices during this time.
