At Stafford, we are growing our talent pool of Cooks and Cleaners for a variety of upcoming opportunities across South Canterbury. Whether you are looking for occasional shifts, temporary assignments, or hoping to secure an ongoing or permanent role, we'd love to hear from you.

Cook Opportunities

We are looking for people who can work efficiently in busy kitchen environments and take pride in serving quality food.

Ideally, you will have:

  • Previous experience working in a commercial kitchen
  • Good food preparation skills
  • Knowledge of food safety and food hygiene practices
  • A positive attitude and ability to work as part of a team

Food Safety/Hygiene certification is advantageous, but not essential if you have relevant kitchen experience.

You will bring:

  • A strong work ethic and attention to detail
  • Reliability and a positive attitude
  • The ability to work independently or within a team
  • Pride in delivering a high standard of work

No previous cleaning experience is required, although it would certainly be an advantage.

  • Flexible work opportunities
  • Temporary, casual, ongoing and permanent roles
  • A chance to build experience with respected local employers
  • Work hours that may fit around family, study, or other commitments
