Job description

Overview

Cook/Assistant Cook, Nethy Bridge, Scotland – Abernethy Trust. This is a fantastic opportunity to live and work in the Scottish Highlands and be part of a Christian Community providing excellent hospitality. As part of the Kitchen Team, Cooks prepare delicious home-cooked meals and baking for our guests and staff. You will be involved in all aspects of the kitchen: from helping to plan menus to receiving deliveries, serving guests and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and food hygiene. You will also lead shifts and organise the kitchen team to ensure meals are served hot and on time. You will be a role model for our Gap Year Team, helping them to learn new skills whilst also having the opportunity to grow and develop your own gifts. You will have the opportunity to get involved in the wider ministry of the Centre, including our evening sessions with kids, and ministry teams serving on one of our events weeks and weekends (e.g. playing music, organising games / sport, etc.). Previous experience in catering would be great, but we can provide training for the right person. You’ll need to be willing to get stuck in and work hard, but making people happy with healthy, tasty food is so rewarding! Accommodation will be provided if needed. More information, including key roles and how to apply can be found on our website.
