Description
Lead with heart. Cook with purpose. Make a difference every day.
Everil Orr Living is more than a kitchen it’s a place where food brings people together. As part of the Methodist Mission Northern whānau (including Lifewise and Airedale Property Trust), everything we do is grounded in compassion, respect, and community impact.
We’re looking for a hands-on Kitchen Manager who is passionate about food, people, and creating a welcoming dining experience for our residents and wider village community.
About the Role
This is a practical, all-round leadership role where you’ll be right in the action—cooking, leading, and shaping the daily kitchen experience.
You will:
Lead the day-to-day kitchen and café operations
Cook and prepare fresh, nutritious meals daily
Develop seasonal menus and daily specials
Manage stock, control costs, and minimise waste
Ensure food safety and hygiene standards are met
Support and guide a small team to deliver consistent, high-quality service
Create a warm, positive environment for residents, whānau, and visitors
Why Join Us?
Purpose-driven mahi – your work directly supports community wellbeing
Autonomy & creativity – bring your ideas to menus and service delivery
Supportive environment – be part of a values-led organisation that cares
What We’re Looking For
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who bring passion, respect, and a willingness to contribute.
You’ll ideally have:
Experience managing or leading in a kitchen environment
A recognised cookery qualification (Level 4 or above preferred)
Food safety certification (or willingness to obtain)
Confidence working hands-on in a fast-paced setting
Strong organisation and problem-solving skills
An understanding of diverse dietary needs
A commitment to cultural respect and working in a diverse community
Key Highlights
Hands-on leadership in a close-knit kitchen
Opportunity to innovate and improve services
Make a real difference in people’s daily lives
Applications close: 13 April 2026
If you’re someone who enjoys rolling up your sleeves, leading by example, and creating meaningful food experiences we’d love to hear from you.
