Hello amazing centre support staff
We have a truly unique opportunity, that combines a little bit of everything with a huge future ahead
We're looking for a superstar Centre Cook/Chef to take on an amazing opportunity here at our home away from home.
Before we begin, because we're genuinely family owned and operated, we'd like to make a point of saying that we like to hire based on culture and how well a person fits into our family - everything on the job can be taught, but nothing can replace family. And we really do mean it from our hearts, we treat our staff like they're our family <3
Ok so about that amazing culture:
* Family owned and operated, with very experienced owners
* Small service, small team, that are a genuine family and really care about each other
* A team that's hired based on character and values above all
* An enjoyable and fun work environment, with enormous impact
* Incredible mentorship, guidance and opportunity for career growth
* We absolutely pride ourselves on having exceptionally high standards as a service
P.S you totally have our permission to ask the educators how true the above holds for them, actually, we want you to.
Tell me about the centre
* 39 places, exceptional occupancy and family retention; truly a high performing service with a stellar reputation - read our google reviews
* Designed to truly emulate the home environment, our philosophy centres around play-based learning
* The number one consistent feedback we receive from parents is "it feels just like home, you can feel the love and care"
* Purpose built centre, set across two rooms, with a gorgeous verandah area and generous playground, as well as on-site carpark, close to public transport and schools and much, much more
* You'll be part of a truly beautiful team that have been hand-picked by us, that have excellent mindsets and willingness and they're honestly such kind hearted and empathetic people
* Incredible leadership from an amazing director as well as a highly experienced owner (who is also a Macquarie University ECT, Ed Leader, Director and Centre Owner for 13 years)
Bonus but definitely not essential; if you're bilingual in Arabic, Greek or Italian, that would be fabulous. We're across the street from a Our Lady of Mount Carmel School/Parish so we have a significant contingent of families from those cultures.
Ok, you have my attention, but what's in it for me?
* Working in a calmer, peaceful and positive environment that transpires from a beautiful centre.
* Be part of an amazing team, your second family.
* Alongside a very healthy occupancy and appreciative families
* You'll get access to excellent mentorship if we say so ourselves We know we provide so much good and we say it with a proven track record.
* We're licensed for 52 weeks a year too - guaranteed hours for you.
* We could go on forever about all of the positives but truth be told, our only advice is to follow you gut. You'll know when you see the centre, meet us and the team and your intuition will guide you as to whether all of the things above hold steadfast and true.
What you'll be responsible for:
* We facilitate a seasonal menu, in line with Munch N Move + our menu rotates over a 4 week cycle.
* Further, the menu captures a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds; whilst considering allergens.
* Your kitchen will be newly renovated and will be all YOURS to lead and manage.
* We facilitate 4 meals per day; Morning Tea, Lunch, Afternoon Tea and Late Snack
* The menu is always intentionally designed with the Chef to ensure consistency and that it is achievable to execute
* Short hours means you have wonderful flexibility and work-life balance
* We also give you paid time to go and do the shopping, so you can grab a coffee and change up your environment for a bit of a break
* Our educators are always super hands and helpful, you won't be left to do it all on your own
Does this sound like you?
* Qualification preferred, however not necessary. Experience valued highly.
* A current Working with Children Check (WWCC) and National Police Check
* Food Safe Preparation course - if you haven't done so, we will pay for you to complete the course
* A positive and collaborative attitude that fosters a positive work environment/team culture.
* Excellent communication, organisation, and time-management skills.
* A genuine passion for fostering curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning in young children.
We look forward to hearing from you
Sincerely yours,
Fingerprints Family
