About The Role

We’re thrilled to be opening a brand-new education site in Peppermint Grove in January 2026, and we’d love you to join our team!

Cater Care is partnering with one of the region’s prestigious schools to deliver exceptional food services to students and staff. We’re looking for a passionate Head Chef to lead our kitchen and create delicious, nutritious meals every day.

In this role, you’ll oversee day-to-day kitchen operations, lead and manage a team of chefs and kitchen staff, plan menus, and ensure meals are tasty, balanced, and high quality. You’ll also maintain smooth operations, uphold food safety standards, and foster a positive kitchen culture.

Training will begin in early to mid-January, with the site opening shortly after. You’ll enjoy on-site parking plus easy access to public transport - with bus routes nearby making your commute simple and convenient.

Roster: Monday to Friday | 11:00 am - 7:00 pm during school terms
There is potential to work 1 weekend day per term to increase salary and earn paid leave during school term breaks.
