Job description

Location : Kangaroo Point, QLD, 4169

Full-Time : Immediate start

Position title : Cook

Reports to : Centre Manager

Salary range : $76,515 - $77,000 per year + superannuation

Job Closure date : 16 / 10 / 2025

Position Overview : Mygration is engaged to source the following position for our client

On behalf of our client, a leading early learning centre dedicated to nurturing the growth and development of young children, we are seeking a passionate and qualified Cook to join their vibrant team. This centre believes that healthy, nutritious, and delicious food is a fundamental part of a child's learning journey and wellbeing. They are committed to providing fresh, balanced meals prepared daily on-site in a modern, well-equipped kitchen.

In this rewarding role, you will be the heart of the centre's nutritional program, responsible for creating meals that not only meet dietary standards but also excite and nourish young appetites. You will work closely with educators and families to ensure each child's individual needs are met with care and attention.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

Menu Preparation & Cooking :

  • Plan, prepare, and cook a diverse range of nutritious, balanced, and child-friendly meals (breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea) daily from fresh ingredients, adhering to the centre's seasonal menu cycles and nutritional guidelines.
  • Expertly adapt meals and create alternative options to cater for a wide range of dietary requirements, allergies, and cultural preferences (e.g., gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, anaphylaxis-safe protocols).
  • Employ a variety of cooking techniques to ensure meals are both healthy and appealing to young children, focusing on appropriate textures, flavours, and presentations that encourage positive eating habits.

Kitchen & Compliance Management :

  • Maintain the highest standards of kitchen cleanliness, food safety, and hygiene always, strictly following the Food Safety Program, HACCP principles, and all relevant government regulations.
  • Manage all aspects of food storage, including correct labelling, stock rotation, and temperature monitoring of fridges and freezers to ensure absolute freshness and minimise waste.
  • Conduct daily and weekly inspections of the kitchen equipment and storage areas, upholding impeccable organisation and safety standards within the kitchen environment.
  • Administration & Collaboration :

  • Manage kitchen inventory, conduct weekly stocktakes, and place accurate orders with suppliers to ensure efficient kitchen operation within a set budget.
  • Build strong, communicative relationships with educators, centre management, and families, providing information about menus and addressing individual child dietary needs with professionalism and care.
  • Prepare and present meals for service in a timely manner, ensuring portion sizes are age-appropriate and presentation is engaging for children.
  • Skills & Experience

    Essential Qualifications & Attributes :

  • A recognised Certificate in Commercial Cookery (or equivalent) is essential.
  • A current Food Safety Supervisor Certificate (or the willingness to obtain one immediately upon employment).
  • Proven 1 year of full-time experience as a Cook, with a demonstrated ability to prepare nutritious meals from fresh ingredients; prior experience in a childcare, aged care, or large-scale batch cooking environment is highly regarded but not essential.
  • Comprehensive and practical knowledge of special dietary requirements, particularly those relating to common childhood allergies and anaphylaxis.
  • Personal Qualities :

  • An inherent passion for creating healthy food and understanding its importance in early childhood development.
  • Impeccable personal and kitchen hygiene standards with an unwavering commitment to safety protocols.
  • Outstanding organisational skills, including the ability to manage time effectively, work autonomously, and maintain meticulous documentation and record-keeping.
  • A reliable, punctual, and positive team-player attitude, with a warm and caring nature that aligns with the values of a childcare setting.
  • This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated cook to make a tangible difference in the lives of children. If you are looking for a role where your culinary skills will be truly valued and impactful, we encourage you to apply.

    How to Apply : Please submit your resume and a cover letter outlining your suitability for this role and they will be reviewed after the job closure date.
