Job Description

WHAT’S THE JOB?

As a Part-Time Cook in a prestigious local private school, you’ll work under the direction of the Executive Chef or Sous Chef supporting food service for two small boarding houses. You’ll help deliver consistent, high-quality meals and a welcoming dining experience for students—while keeping food safety, organization, and hospitality at the centre of everything you do.

This role is ideal for a chef who enjoys a smaller, relationship-driven service style and takes pride in cooking that supports students’ dietary needs and well-being.

YOUR DAY-TO-DAY

  • Prepare, cook, and serve meals and daily specials (and support catered/special events as needed) following recipe standards.
  • Use a range of cooking methods (roasting, grilling, steaming, poaching, boiling, baking) to execute the menu with consistency and care.
  • Maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, hygiene, and sanitation across all work areas and equipment.
  • Follow all FoodSafe/ServeSafe, health & safety, and sanitation requirements—including temperature and food safety logs.
  • Support ordering, receiving, inventory and FIFO rotation to minimize waste and protect food costs.
  • Provide friendly, professional service and build positive relationships with students, staff, and school partners.
  • Assist the Executive Chef/Sous Chef with continuous improvement ideas, prep planning, and smooth daily execution.

Qualifications

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

  • FoodSafe and/or ServeSafe certification and a strong understanding of safe food handling and health regulations.
  • Experience with international cuisine and the ability to accommodate a variety of dietary needs.
  • Self-driven, dependable, and well-presented—comfortable working in a professional school setting.
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills with a genuine service mindset.
  • Valid driver’s license/clean driving record, and ability to pass a background check.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

  • A stable, purpose-driven environment where your work directly supports students’ daily life.
  • A smaller service setting where you can build rapport and see the impact of your cooking.
  • A supportive culinary team with opportunities to grow your skills and take on more responsibility over time.
