Our vibrant café and kitchen at Palm Lake Care Bargara is looking for energetic, customer-focused team members to join our Hospitality Casual Pool. This flexible pool of staff supports our café and kitchen services year-round, with increased shifts available over the Christmas and New Year holiday period. This role also has the potential to transition into a small Part-Time (PPT) position for the right candidate.

Whether you're passionate about preparing meals, plating food beautifully, or making coffee, this is your opportunity to work in a welcoming, community-focused environment right by the beach.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the Chef Manager & our Service Manager Support, you will be an integral part of the team responsible for preparing and serving nutritious and attractive meals to our residents. You'll work closely with our Cook and hospitality team to ensure meals are plated and presented beautifully, morning and afternoon teas are served, and the kitchen maintains the highest level of cleanliness.

Your role will be varied – from food preparation and plating to light cleaning, and providing friendly café service to residents and guests.

  • Food Preparation: Making sandwiches, wraps, paninis, and other light snacks.
  • Tea & Coffee Service: Supporting the service of morning and afternoon teas, plus general café service for residents and guests.
  • Barista Skills: Highly regarded but not essential – training can be provided.
  • Shifts: A mix of AM and PM shifts available, including weekends and public holidays.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in basic food preparation and safe food handling practices
  • Ability to assist with meal plating and maintain a clean kitchen environment
  • Excellent customer service skills, with a warm and engaging personality
  • Team player who can also work independently
  • Barista/café service experience is highly regarded
  • Current Food Safety Certificate (advantageous)
  • Previous hospitality, café, or aged care experience (desirable)

  • A supportive and friendly team in a meaningful care environment
  • Free onsite parking and complimentary staff treats/snacks/light meals
  • A chance to make a real difference to people's daily lives
  • Coastal location just minutes from the beach
  • Future opportunities to expand hours, including weekends

If you enjoy kitchen work and thrive in a caring, team-focused environment, apply now to join our Hospitality Casual Pool and secure shifts across the Christmas/New Year period.
