Inform the supervisor/purchasing volunteer about low stocks, substitutions, and preferred suppliers.

Graduate of Culinary Arts, hospitality management, vocational Cookery, or related courses is an advantage
At least 2 years of experience as a cook in a canteen, cafeteria, restaurant, or similar food service setting; with NC2 certification

Able to lead a small kitchen team, work under time pressure, and stay calm during busy periods
Honest, dependable, and willing to work shifts, weekends, and special events as needed
