The Opportunity: A Chef Job with a Life

Are you a qualified chef tired of late nights, split shifts, and high-pressure service?

This is an extremely rewarding role where you get to use your culinary skills to directly improve a person's life, nutrition, and independence.

  • Highly Competitive Casual Rate: Earn a great hourly rate ($38.00 – $45 per hour + Super + kms)
  • Autonomy & Creativity: Work one-on-one with clients, designing and preparing customised meals based on their dietary needs (texture modified, diabetic, allergies) and personal preferences. This is cooking with a true purpose
  • Meaningful Connection: Build strong, personal relationships with your clients, becoming a valued and essential part of their support network.
Your Day-to-Day Role:

  3. Minimum Experience: Candidates must have a minimum of 5 years of professional chef or cook experience.
  4. Mandatory Checks: Must possess or be willing to obtain a NDIS Worker Screening Check and a current National Police Check.
  5. Licence & Vehicle: A current, valid Australian Driver's Licence and a reliable, insured vehicle is essential for travel between clients.
