THE KITCHEN CREW - EMPOWERING PEOPLE THROUGH FOOD

By BCOGNITIVE – Where Mental Health Matters

Hey, do you...

  • Love to cook?
  • Have solid kitchen skills and a knack for flavour?
  • Want to make a real impact in people's lives — especially in the disability and mental health space?
  • Believe everyone deserves access to healthy food and the skills to make it themselves?

If you're nodding your head — we WANT you to join The Kitchen Crew

Who We Are

The Kitchen Crew by BCOGNITIVE is not your average cooking gig.

We're a fun, hands-on, purpose-driven program tackling food insecurity, building life skills, and strengthening communities — all through the power of cooking.

We're working with NDIS participants to boost independence and confidence in the kitchen — and beyond. With support from allied health professionals and passionate cooks (like you), we're helping people take control of their health, nutrition, and daily lives.

What Makes Us Different?

Here's how The Kitchen Crew rolls:

Meal Planning: Work with participants on a personalised meal plan based on their needs, goals, and food preferences.

Smart Shopping: We help participants learn how to shop for fresh, affordable food — with hands-on support and practical tips.

Cooking Together: You'll lead in-home or group cooking sessions, teaching real cooking skills, sharing your food wisdom, and helping people fall in love with homemade meals.

Eating & Celebrating: The best part — sitting down to enjoy something made from scratch. Every meal is a confidence boost, a skill learned, and a win for well-being.

Why Join The Kitchen Crew?

  • You'll use your cooking skills for a greater purpose
  • You'll work 1-on-1 and in small groups with participants — really getting to know them
  • You'll be part of an award-winning, grassroots program making a real impact
  • You'll be surrounded by people who care deeply about mental health, inclusion, and community

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience as a chef or cook — doesn't need to be fancy, just solid kitchen skills
  • Passion for working in disability or mental health support
  • Great people skills — empathetic, patient, and encouraging
  • Confident in adapting your teaching and mentoring style to support individual learning needs
  • Comfortable working independently or as part of a team
  • Previous experience in disability support is awesome (but not essential)

What You'll Get:

  • A flexible, meaningful role where you see the difference you're making
  • A supportive team that values fun, purpose, and community
  • Opportunities to grow your experience in NDIS, food education, and social impact
  • That warm, fuzzy feeling when you've helped someone gain confidence in themselves

Apply Now If you're ready to bring your skills into a kitchen that truly changes lives, we'd love to hear from you.
