  • Listen to resident feedback and ensure satisfaction with meals and service

What you will bring:

  • Trade Cook Certificate or equivalent
  • Current Food Safety Supervisor Certificate
  • Food Handling qualification
  • Solid experience in hospitality, ideally in high-volume food preparation
  • National Police Check (or willingness to obtain)

It would be an advantage if you have:

  • Intermediate computer skills
  • A genuine passion for working with older people and delivering service with empathy

Why join us?

  • Live and work in beautiful Hervey Bay, with an unbeatable lifestyle on your doorstep
  • Be part of a values-driven, mission-led organisation
  • Lead a supportive team that is passionate about care and quality
  • Access not-for-profit salary packaging benefits
  • Enjoy professional development opportunities and career progression pathways
