Townsville, Queensland, Australia Army Full time

"An entry requirement for employment with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) is that you must be an Australian citizen. If you do not meet the citizenship conditions for service in the ADF, we are unable to accept an application from you. You are welcome to apply once you have completed your citizenship journey."

Your Role

If you're looking to use your existing skillsets, experience adventure outside the ordinary, and earn tax-free pay, the Army Reserve has an exciting opportunity for you.

As a part-time Chef in the Army Reserve, you'll work alongside fellow cooks to provide and support the dietary needs of soldiers. You'll get to apply your skills to create food that sustains the Army's optimal cognitive and physical human performance, all while adding the challenge of a military experience to your everyday role.

You'll be responsible for cooking a variety of dishes and preparing meals in specialised fields and commercial kitchens. You'll also get to cook at important functions and VIP events.

Whether you're learning new dishes or the process of bulk cookery you'll be gaining specialised skills to take back to your current full-time career.

It's a great opportunity to experience adventure and excitement, step outside of your comfort zone, and earn tax-free pay. See how this flexible, part- time role as a Chef can work around your current lifestyle.

Just give as little as one night a week, one weekend a month or a few weeks a year – and you'll get a world of new experiences back.

Boost your Income

The pay you receive in the Army Reserve goes straight into your pocket with no deductions for tax, and it increases as you gain seniority and experience.

On completion of your initial military and employment training, you could earn a package worth at least $188/day tax-free.

Additional amounts are paid for time spent on exercises and deployments.

Life in the Army Reserve

Thousands of men and women enjoy part-time roles with the Army Reserve, operating alongside full-time Army personnel. The only difference is that your commitment is flexible.

Initial training length will vary based on your chosen role, after which you will normally be expected to serve between 20 and 100 days per year. This could involve one night a week, one weekend a month or a few weeks a year.

We do our best to make sure this fits in with your work and family commitments; and deployments are voluntary so if you choose to stay local, there are plenty of ways to make a difference closer to home. And with no minimum period of service, you can leave the Army Reserve whenever you like.
