Job Description

Are you passionate about food and enjoy cooking? Do you find joy in creating meals that children love?

Our vibrant centre is looking for a skilled cook to prepare nutritious and delicious meals for our little ones! As our cook, you will play a vital role in preparing dishes that not only nourish our tamariki but also provide them with the essential energy they need to thrive, learn, and engage in playful activities!

This is a fixed term full-time role from Monday to Friday, 30 hours per week from June 2025 – February 2026.

About Us:

Our tamariki and whānau feel a sense of belonging at Busy Bees Taupō, and we welcome new families in, to feel right at home too. We offer nutritious, home-cooked meals and a backyard play area for our tamariki. Our teachers live locally, which supports our strong sense of community and comfortable and welcoming environment. Our centre provides nurturing and stimulating environments for young children with its separate nursery and preschool rooms, as well as areas where tamariki can come together to share tuakana-teina (older-younger child) interactions where wonderful teaching moments are shared.

About you:

  • Experience in cooking for large groups, be it in a childcare centre or other environment
  • Able to work well in a fast-paced environment, at times under pressure
  • Fit and active, as this is a busy role
  • Great communication skills with the ability to build positive relationships with parents and children
  • Able to manage a budget
  • Competent in maintaining written records in line with the Food Act requirements
  • Flexible in approach, but also able to work to a daily schedule
