Who will I be accountable to? Who will give me the support I need?

You will be accountable to the Director of Nursing, who is charged with ensuring you have everything you need to enjoy your work at Vermont Aged Care. Of course, you will work closely with the Catering Coordinator and the Cook. In fact, our family focussed community is just one of the things that sets us apart and makes working at Vermont Aged Care so special. That’s why at Vermont Aged Care you’re a key part of the health services we provide.

Who will I be cooking for and working with?

You will be providing nutritional meals for the Residents and staff of Vermont Aged Care. These residents may be here for respite care, dementia support, long-term aged care or palliative care. That means that their nutritional needs will vary, making your work more interesting. Also, we strongly support cultural choices so you’ll be creating a diverse range of foods. Finally, you will be working in a friendly team, at a family operated facility where management support is always on hand.

What qualifications do I need?

You must have previous knowledge and experience in catering and/or cooking for large numbers of people. In fact, due to the nature of the role, you must have this qualification to be considered for this post.

Also, if you have previous experience cooking specifically for the aged, frail or those requiring special diets, that will be well regarded. Also, we are happy to discuss supporting your commitment to further education and training. That’s because ongoing learning is highly valued at Vermont. Why not work at Vermont Aged Care and and learn new, valuable skills too?
