Benefits - What's in it for you?

• Take control of your schedule - choose shifts that suit your lifestyle.
• Join our dedicated internal casual team (MetFlex) for training, support, and development.
• Learn while you earn - gain experience across multiple areas.
• Enjoy ongoing casual shifts across our unique, local villages.
• Opportunity to transition into a permanent role if you're ready for the next step.
• Grow your career in Aged Care - we'll support your development every step of the way.
• Work in a rewarding environment where your contribution truly matters.

About the Role

We're on the lookout for a Café All-Rounder with solid cooking skills who's also happy to jump in front-of-house or behind the coffee machine when needed. This is a casual role with variety - one day you might be prepping meals in the kitchen, the next you're crafting coffees or serving our wonderful residents and visitors.

What you'll be doing:

• Preparing and serving simple meals and cabinet food.
• Making great coffee and other beverages.
• Taking food and drink orders from residents, visitors, and staff.
• Operating the till and handling transactions.
• Keeping the café and kitchen areas clean and tidy.
• Pitching in with general kitchen duties as needed.

About You

You're a team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys variety in your day. You're just as comfortable behind the grill as you are behind the espresso machine, and you love making people feel welcome.

You'll bring:

• Experience in a commercial kitchen or café environment.
• Confidence in basic food prep and cooking.
• Barista skills - ideally with experience in a busy café.
• A friendly, professional manner and great communication skills.
• A can-do attitude and willingness to help wherever needed.
• A Food Handling Certificate (a bonus, but not essential).
