THE ROLE

We’re looking for a calm, organised Kitchen Coordinator to run our evening meal service. You’ll lead a small team of volunteers to prepare and serve food using a mix of donated and purchased ingredients. Menus are created daily—flexibility, creativity, and practicality are key.
This is a unique environment. While good food matters, successful candidates will prioritise maintaining a 5-star clean, calm, and safe kitchen before trying to impress with culinary flair. Our guests want food that tastes like home, not a restaurant. Cleanliness, organisation, and a peaceful atmosphere are essential—and valued more highly than gourmet presentation.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Plan and prepare meals for 80+ guests using available ingredients (Vegetarian option expected daily)
• Maintain a 5-star food hygiene standard at all times
• Lead and support kitchen volunteers during service
• Monitor food stocks and manage supplies responsibly
• Ensure safe handling of allergens and meet dietary needs where possible
• Keep daily logs and food safety records up to date
• Support a smooth, welcoming and respectful meal service
