Mount Claremont WA, Australia Indigo Montessori Full time $74,000 - $76,000 per year

We are looking for a passionate and flexible Food Coordinator to join our Mount Claremont team. The role is preparing and cooking nutritional meals for the children in our service. The position is 5 hours a day, 8am-1pm, Monday to Friday.

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.

  • Now paying the Worker Retention Grant.
  • 65% discount on your childcare fees. (conditions apply)
  • Generous Staff Appreciation Budgets at each centre to strengthen relationships and reward our teams.
  • Fantastic training and development programs.
  • Support and availability of a WA based Senior Management team.
  • Great company where the culture is fun, professional and supportive of all team members.
  • First aid training is organised by and held at Head Office during working hours, with Educators paid for the time attended.
  • CPR Courses organised and paid for by head office (course fees and time attended).
  • Strong focus on work-life-balance.
  • Relationship centred environments.
  • Uniform allocations (annual).

The Role

The role requires an experienced cook, with a similar philosophy, to deliver healthy and nutritionally balanced meals for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.

  • Preparation and cooking of meals (morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea).
  • Menu planning in accordance to management approval and centre budget.
  • Ensure familiarity of dietary requirements of children within the centre.
  • Ensure that a high level of hygiene, health and safety standards are maintained at all times.
