Job description

About the role

As Executive Chef, you'll own the kitchen in every sense. You'll lead a team of passionate kitchen staff, design rotating menus that celebrate the cultural diversity of our residents, and ensure every plate that leaves your kitchen is something to be proud of.

Reporting to the Hospitality Services Manager, this is a hands‑on leadership role where your decisions make a direct difference to the daily lives of our residents.

About Rockpool Residential Aged Care

Rockpool Residential Aged Care is a boutique provider, proudly Queensland owned. We believe great careers and great care go hand in hand. Our My Day My Way model of care puts the people we care for at the centre of everything, shaping their days around their choices, not our routines.

This philosophy shapes how we work and what makes a career at Rockpool different: purpose that matters, contemporary leadership that backs you, beautiful modern homes designed for the people in them, smart technology that frees you to focus on people, and room to grow with Queensland's fastest-growing provider.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Design and deliver high-quality, nutritious and culturally appropriate menus in collaboration with residents, dietitians and Hospitality Services Manager
  • Lead, mentor and inspire a kitchen team — setting the bar high and bringing everyone with you
  • Own food safety and HACCP compliance as the Food Safety Supervisor
  • Manage stock, ordering, supplier relationships and kitchen budgets with efficiency and accountability
  • Actively engage with residents and families to gather feedback and continuously elevate the dining experience
  • Drive a culture of continuous improvement, innovation and genuine care

Skills and experience

  • Proven experience as a Head Chef or Executive Chef in aged care, healthcare or hospitality
  • Expertise in menu development and catering for diverse dietary, cultural and medical needs
  • Strong knowledge of food safety standards, HACCP and kitchen hygiene compliance
  • Demonstrated ability to manage budgets, control stock and build strong supplier relationships
  • Outstanding leadership, team management and communication skills
  • Certificate III or IV in Commercial Cookery or equivalent (essential)
  • Food Safety Supervisor Certification (essential)
  • Qualifications in leadership or management (desirable)
