Office Team Member | Abernethy, Nethy Bridge
Full time
Permanent, live-in (where required)
Location address: Abernethy, Nethybridge, Inverness-shire, PH25 3ED
Start date: immediate
This is a fantastic opportunity to live and work in the Scottish Highlands and be part of a Christian Community providing excellent hospitality. As part of the Kitchen Team, Cooks help to prepare delicious home-cooked meals and baking for our guests and staff. You will be involved in all aspects of the kitchen: from helping to plan menus to receiving deliveries, serving guests and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and food hygiene. You will also lead shifts and organise the kitchen team to ensure meals are served hot and on time.
You will be a role model for our Gap Year Team, helping them to learn new skills whilst also having the opportunity to grow and develop your own gifts.
There is plenty of scope for getting involved in the wider work of the Centre, whether that be in our evening sessions with kids, playing music, sports or outdoor adventures.
Previous experience in catering in some capacity is essential. You’ll need to be willing to get stuck in and work hard, but making people happy with healthy, tasty food is so rewarding!
Accommodation will be provided if needed.
