Kitchen Hand position

We are looking for someone who is available on a casual “as-needed” or roster basis, preferably for an immediate start. We are open Wednesday through Friday, from 11am to 9pm, and Saturday from 4pm to 9pm (except monthly Market Day Saturdays where we are open from 11am to 9pm). Ideally, we’re looking for someone who can commit around 15 to 30 hours per week.

Duties include:

• Assisting cooks in food preparation, cooking and service for restaurant and catering operations, with an emphasis on Polish cuisine and cooking techniques;
• Bulk cooking in accordance with recipes;
• Cleaning, washing dishes and keeping kitchen and food storage areas tidy and organised;
• Laundering kitchen towels, floor towels and aprons; and
• Maintaining high standards of kitchen hygiene and food safety; and
• Assisting in managing inventory, preparing orders, and reviewing and unpacking deliveries

Key considerations:

• Must be reliable, hard-working, and able to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience in cooking Polish or Eastern European cuisine will be highly regarded but is not essential.
• Polish language skills will be highly regarded but are not essential.
• Must be committed to food safety and HACCP compliance, and possess (or be willing to obtain) the relevant food safety certifications.
• Small team environment of up to 5 staff/volunteers.
• Pay rate depends on experience and will be in line with pay rates set by the Registered and Licensed Clubs Award.

What’s in it for you:

• Caring and supportive environment where staff input is valued.
• Perfect opportunity to develop your interest in, or connection to, Poland and its culture.
• Your efforts go towards fulfilling a charitable mission rather than enriching someone’s private business.
• Opportunity to interact with a highly accomplished management committee with international experience and connections.

If you have experience in hospitality, a commitment to teamwork, and a positive, collaborative and community-minded attitude, then we invite you to make your application by emailing [email protected] with a copy of your CV.
