Camp Chef – Position Description
Students Explore Australia Pty Ltd is on a mission to connect young people with nature, as a means of improving their wellbeing.

- We strive for good vibes everyday (there’s a science behind this)
- We are hungry to achieve our personal bests
- We are highly organised and disciplined

You must be willing to travel to different camp locations and adapt to different kitchens and facilities. For the duration of the camps you will stay on-site, with accommodation and meals included, in addition to your daily rate.
Your Main Duties Include:
Preparing meals and cooking as outlined in the meal plan document
Engaging with our students at meal time, and providing them with simple, fun and healthy meals to brighten their day!

Role Requirements:

Must be willing to travel and be away from home for 3-5 days at a time
Ideally have experience in similar roles or hold current qualifications in cookery/kitchen operations
You will hold an advantage if you have an Light Rigid license (purely as part of our on-tour contingency plans – having a spare minibus driver)
Our Ideal Candidate Will Be:
A team-focused player with an optimistic, can-do attitude for life and for work
Passionate about cooking, with multiple years of experience as a chef
Organised and punctual
Able to follow instructions and food plans
A person who enjoys working with kids or students, and feels an urge to mix up their regular work routine
You will take home between $425 – $500 per day as a contractor with your own ABN (very easy and cheap to set up, and we can guide you in that, should you be successful).
We also include all accommodation and meals during your program (the catch is though – you’ll be the one making meals for the entire team!). You will also be eligible for our individual ‘player of the match’ bonuses on each program, and team bonuses for when you are part of a team that gets a ‘match win’ on programs.
If you feel that you are the right fit for this role, and you embody our core values – then we encourage you to apply today!
