• Part time opportunity
• Subsidised Childcare for your tamariki.
• Be part of a fun and supportive team environment.

Located in the beautiful South Island town of Timaru, Little Wonders is a centre where our staff love what they do and our tamariki grow & learn every day.

We are looking for a Centre Cook that is passionate about food and understands the importance nutrition plays in the lives of our Tamariki. Our new cook will be at the heart of our centre and our whanau, with the kitchen at your disposal. Our tamariki are looking for someone who will make delicious food that they will enjoy. Someone who will talk to them about what they are doing in the kitchen. Someone who knows that they rely on them, to give them the fuel to get them through their busy day. You will also be called upon to support the teaching team with our tamariki where needed.


Who are you?

• You ideally have menu preparation experience and a current Food Safety and Hygiene Certificate, but this is not essential.
• The ability to follow food compliance regulations and can complete the associated paperwork and training.
• You may also have experience cooking for large groups or previous experience in an early childhood centre would be advantageous.
• You are a passionate and intuitive cook, open and responsive to the constantly changing needs of our tamariki.
• You are comfortable working autonomously and as part of a team (your day will encompass both).

You will be responsible for the complete management of the kitchen including:

•  Stock control and ordering.
•  Engagement with children and teachers at mealtimes.
•  Managing multiple different dietary requirements.
•  Cleanness of the kitchen area.
•  Menu planning.
