About Us

The Whiz Kidz group are family owned and operated childcare centres in NSW and VIC. Our owners are two sisters, both with young children, who have a passion for quality childcare and early education. Having sent all their young children to childcare, we understand what it means to be able to send your child to a centre each morning and walk away with the peace of mind that your child is being cared for in a loving and nurturing environment. This is the ideal that drives Whiz Kidz each and every day.

What You'll Be Responsible For:

  • Preparing wholesome, child-friendly meals for up to 100 children daily (morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack)
  • Designing rotating seasonal menus that follow nutritional guidelines and accommodate allergies, cultural needs, and dietary restrictions
  • Managing food orders, minimising waste, and working within budget
  • Maintaining a clean, organised, and inviting kitchen that complies with all food safety regulations
  • Keeping up-to-date records, including allergen and food safety documentation
  • Supporting special events, cultural celebrations, and parent engagement around food

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience as a chef or cook — ideally in childcare, aged care, or similar community settings
  • Food Safety Supervisor Certificate (or willingness to obtain)
  • Certificate III (or above) in Commercial Cookery
  • Strong organisation skills, reliability, and a love for running a tidy, efficient kitchen
  • A warm, caring approach to cooking — meals made with heart and purpose
  • Someone who enjoys being part of a team and contributing to a positive, home-like environment for children

What's in it for you?

  • Competitive pay
  • Supportive team environment
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Work/life balance
  • Discounted child care fees
