For Children. For You. For Always.

Are you ready to make a difference that lasts a lifetime?

At C&K, our purpose is to make a positive impact on children’s lives. It’s what we’ve been doing for more than 115 years. Through evidence-based thinking, hard work and true compassion, we’ve built a trusted reputation as Queensland’s leading provider of early childhood education.

The spacious and natural environment at our centre is thoughtfully planned and well resourced. There is a focus on music, drama, literature and visual arts and we allocate plenty of time for outdoor play and discovery. Community spirit is important to us at C&K Mount Gravatt West. We foster strong ties to the local community by encouraging parent involvement in the daily operations of the kindergarten. We often hold and partake in community events and love connecting with local businesses and groups around us and taking the children on excursions out into the local community.

We are seeking a dedicated and experienced cook to join our vibrant childcare center. The ideal candidate will be passionate about preparing nutritious, child-friendly meals, ensuring dietary needs and preferences are met. Key responsibilities include food preparation, maintaining a clean and safe kitchen, and adhering to food safety regulations. Experience in a childcare setting or similar environment is preferred.

You’ll be joining the C&K Mount Gravatt West Community Childcare Centre as a cook, working five days a week from 8 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. each day. Your role offers a consistent schedule, allowing you to make a meaningful impact on the children's daily meals

Find your Better Way

  • Enjoy  the benefits of the Employee Referral Program with a $1000 referral reward when referring a successful candidate for one of our vacancies so you can be rewarded for supporting your team’s growth.

Help shape the future of children in our care

As our highly valued Cook with our C&K Mount Gravatt West Community Childcare Centre team, you’ll create magical culinary experiences that nourish the bodies and minds of the children in our care.

Using our state-of-the art kitchen, you’ll whip up delicious, nutritious meals and snacks that delight even the pickiest of tiny tastebuds, creating cherished meal-time memories and supporting children to become healthy, happy and confident lifelong learners. You will design and deliver your menu with the close support of our Kitchens Operations Supervisor to ensure all our little learner’s dietary requirements are well supported.

And with no long hours, nights or weekend work, you’ll enjoy a better work-life balance with fixed, stable hours, so you can spend more quality time with friends and family.

What you’ll bring

To thrive and succeed in this role, we would love you to have:

  • Valid Blue Card and current Police Check (within three months or willingness to obtain these – C&K will cover the cost).
  • A Certificate III in Commercial Cookery (or related discipline) and Quality Food Supervisor Certificate is ideal, but we are happy to consider unqualified applicants with experience.
  • Previous experience in cooking for young children or within a large commercial kitchen, plus knowledge of menu planning for dietary and nutritional requirements.
