The Role
Join Our Vibrant Student-Led Café Team
Are you passionate about food, education, and creating a dynamic learning environment? An exciting opportunity waits for a Café Program Assistant to be part of our student-led café at the Wheelers Hill Campus — during school terms only (school holidays off).
This unique role blends hospitality with hands-on learning, supporting students as they gain real-world experience in our Café Program. As a Café Program Assistant, you'll play a key role in maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the kitchen as well as managing food orders, stock control and receiving deliveries.
