Being a Chef in the service industry is different to the normal hospitality lane. (Great news if you’re looking for a fresh start.) It still requires a passion for creating great food, but the emphasis is on ensuring meals are nutritional balanced to support the energy requirements of demanding roles, such as mining.  Getting a start in the industry opens doors to develop greater skills in menu management, large scale food production and more.

As a Chef working for Cater Care you’re considered an essential service worker, so you have peace of mind about job security. You work 14 days on and have 7 days off (with meals, uniforms and accommodation included), giving you a real opportunity to save and get ahead and improve your work/life balance. This role is perfect for a Adelaide Chef.
