  • Prepare and cook large quantities of food, ensuring portion control and consistency in taste, appearance, and presentation.
  • Work with the FSM and Nutritionists to ensure meals are tailored to meet the specific dietary needs of residents (e.g., low-sodium, diabetic, gluten-free, texture-modified diets).
  • Ensure that all food production adheres to food safety standards, including proper food storage, temperature control, and sanitation practices.

About you ... 

  • A preparedness to work to the 10 principles of the Eden Alternative philosophy
  • Self-motivated with a flexible, caring and patient attitude
  • Ability to effectively manage time
  • Multilingual or ability to speak other languages.
  • Experience in training of food handling for staff

  • Understanding of the dietary needs and nutritional requirements of elderly residents, including texture-modified diets.
  • Understanding of portion control and large-scale food preparation techniques.
