PROGRAM AGREEMENT

The dining areas serve food from 0400-0830 breakfast, 1600-2030 dinner and lunch is available as takeaway from the crib area. A range of foods are on offer including vegetarian/vegan options. There is a tavern on site that sells low alcohol beer and wine. While alcohol consumption is allowed outside of shifts, all employees are tested and must rate 0.00 before shift commences. Random alcohol and drug testing are carried out on most sites, you must show a zero reading for both drugs and alcohol if tested.

Shifts are generally 12 hours long and rotate with day and night shifts. Shift start and end times vary based on your section and each site’s operational hours. You will be inducted onsite by your department supervisor and will set up with a buddy for your first swing. Each shift has a (p)re-start meeting where, safety, service, menu and preparation will be discussed with the chef team and tasks will be assigned.

All meals are cooked to bulk specifications based on the occupancy of site. You will need to multi-task and manage your time effectively to produce high quality dishes that are well presented and meet the menu requirements daily. Being a Compass chef is also a customer facing roll, you will be expected to greet customers and assist them with their food choices as well as answer any questions or dietary requests. Communication and team work are very important in the kitchen environment and you will find your team becomes a second family away from home.

Saftey comes first in all processes and you will be trained on the equipment you are required to use – extra training may be required if you are working with specialist equipment. Strong food safety, hygiene and allergen knowledge is essential – it is a part of every process in the kitchen. Refresher training is given periodically to ensure your knowledge is current.
