Cook
A Cook prepares food for customers and guests at a restaurant, café or catering venue. You might also work in a residential facility such as an aged care home or workplace camp accommodation. Cooks prepare a range of meals and may have to cater for special dietary needs or create menus for special occasions. You might attend to other tasks such as ordering supplies and checking ingredients.
Cooks should be highly organised and able to attend to several tasks at one time. You should be able to work in a fast-paced work environment and must be able to work as part of a larger kitchen team. It’s important that you can communicate well and can follow instructions closely. Cooks may have to work irregular hours such as nights, weekends or holidays.
