Kitchen Assistant

An opportunity has arisen for an energetic and friendly person to join our team at Summerset, to assist with the day to day operation of our on-site kitchen. At Summerset, we're passionate about providing quality service to our clients and we are growing quickly, with 30+ villages from Warkworth to Dunedin.

We have a new role for a seasoned Kitchen Hand with a track record of customer satisfaction, who is ready for new challenges to join our busy kitchen.

Our ideal candidate will :

• be outgoing, friendly and have a can-do attitude
• enjoy providing top class customer service to ensure a great experience to our residents and their guests
• have the ability to provide high quality and timely support for the Chef.

At Summerset, we place high value on providing an exceptional dining experience for our residents and visitors. To provide this we have implemented a new food strategy, to enhance the overall dining experience for our residents and visitors. Therefore, we are looking for a Kitchen Assistant who has a genuine interest in providing quality services.

What's in it for you? This is an excellent time to be joining Summerset - not only are we growing and investing, we're the fastest builder of new retirement villages in New Zealand, so for the right person this company is brimming with opportunity. The work activity that you will be exposed to in this role will be diverse and interesting as well as working with a passionate team that is fun to be part of. To recognise the important work that you do for our residents, we offer social sporting teams, health cover, discounts at a range of suppliers and more.

This role includes many great benefits e.g. a weekend rate of an additional 40 percent of the hourly rate.

Due to NZ Immigration requirements we are obliged to consider candidates that already have the right to work in NZ for this role first. Due to this we may not be able to support a visa application for this role. This role may close early due to an increased number of applications - apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!

The safety of our residents and staff is important to us. For this reason, we require all our employees to be fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19 before commencing work at Summerset.

Please note, only suitable applicants will be contacted.
