The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre is advertising this opportunity on behalf of Balwyn Evergreen Centre.

Balwyn Evergreen is looking for friendly volunteer cooks to help create a warm and welcoming dining experience for our Supported Lifestyle Program clients on Wednesdays and Fridays.

You will work closely with our Kitchen and Meals Coordinator who will provide you with a meal plan each week. Dishes are selected based on the ingredients we have on hand, with much of our bakery goods and fresh produce being redistributed surplus stock donated from local food suppliers via a food rescue organisation.

The role includes:

  • Cooking a balanced and nutritious meal for clients and volunteers allowing for dietary needs
  • Plating up
  • and kitchen clean up.

You may also need to assist with food service at times.

This role offers the opportunity to cook fresh meals for the day as well as, on occasions, preparing dishes in bulk to be frozen and enjoyed later.

Our volunteers are a valued part of our community. Together with staff, you’ll help create an environment of connection, care and fun for our clients.

Shifts available:

  • Wednesday: 9.30am-1pm
  • Friday: 9.30am-1pm

If you're keen to make a genuine difference in the lives of older people, then we'd love to hear from you!
