Kitchen Hand

We are looking for a juice-loving, experienced Kitchen Hand/Juicer to join the team at our Gold Coast pressery. Sounds tasty? Don't stop now; keep reading and apply xpressed isn't just Juice; it's the new noun for Juice. xpressed ensures every bottle of Juice is made fresh the morning of its delivery and is ONLY ever filled with locally-sourced, non-GMO fruits and vegetables - no additives, no fillers, no water. **our hi-STORY** This isn't your classic, 'after travelling the world together, two friends decided' or 'I found myself constantly wanting' story. We aren't founders, we are family, and this is our labour-of-love story. The Hutchins are six zesty humans, sharing the same last name and admiration for the perfect drink to accompany Sunday's big breakfast, Monday's morning rush, Thursday's I-can't-have-another-coffee-pick-me-up and Saturday afternoon's aperitif. But, beyond sharing a last name and love for Juice, we share an unwavering and unbridled passion. xpressed would only exist if our 'good' wasn't just in the consumables; what our fellow juice-loving-mouth-havers needed was neutrality in wellness, social responsibilities to depend on, values that tied a community together, and a Vision that inspired hope in our humanity. **COMPANY CULTURE**: At xpressed, we want to cultivate a working environment that makes you jump out of bed in the morning with a banana-shaped smile slapped on your face. We are passionate about what we do and how we do it; we're a business that thrives upon feelings, so how you feel about work MATTERS. We believe in an active and welcoming organisation built upon integrity, honesty, hard work and a good sense of humour. Our customers and community come first, and we will go above and beyond to make them happy. **YOUR ROLE**: A juice maker typically begins a shift by ensuring all supplies are available and ready; this includes taking stock of all equipment, fruit, vegetables, nuts, powders and any other food product required to create our extraordinary beverages. Then, before opening the establishment for the day, the juice makers will be briefed on the orders for the day. The juicer will then wash, peel and prepare all produce used and organise it accordingly. Once the pressing has finished for the day, the juice maker discards all partially used food products and properly seals and stores the rest, following company policies and local, state and federal food safety regulations. The juice maker also takes note of any inventory that is running low, alerting the shift manager so it may be replaced before the next shift starts. - Demonstrated experience in a high volume, fast-paced environment, preferably in an industrial/commercial kitchen. - You will need to perform duties which include intermittent lifting, bending and lots of physical movement. You will be required to be at your workstation and on your feet for the entire shift. - Support waste reduction and sustainability of the kitchen. Support stock management, rotation, stocktaking. - Operating commercial kitchen machinery, with training provided. - Setting up and packing down each area for each shift.

Our pressery is only a few minutes away from Burleigh Beach, Tallebudgera Creek and bustling James Street - we urge walks and friendly catch-ups in your break. The more notice you give us about time-off, holidays, late/early starts and finishes, the more accomodating we can be. - An interest in nutrition or dietetics is EXTREMELY welcomed; we want everyone at xpressed to be passionate about wellbeing. **WHY XPRESSED?**: - Moments away from the heart of Burleigh Heads - Because more than loving Juice, you love that we: ONLY use Australian Recycled Glass Bottles, we donate our leftover pulp to feed farm animals in Currumbin Valley and reduce our food miles by only buying local produce, as well as acknowledging our work on unceded Country and paying the rent to the Traditional Custodians of the Land, the Yugambeh people. xpressed is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity at our company; we do not disc
