Breakfast Cook

Loch Island Lodge is seeking a *BREAKFAST COOK/HOUSEKEEPER.* You do not require previous professional culinary experience, as we can train suitable candidates, but prior education or experience is a definite asset.

What does the ideal candidate look like? We keep our guests well-fed with hearty favourites. Our rotating weekly meal schedule includes dishes such as omelettes, eggs Benedict, eggs to order, casseroles, pancakes, French toast, waffles, crepes, hot cereals, and sides of fried potatoes, bacon, sausage, toast, and/or fruit. While some prep can be done the night before, this job requires being in the kitchen by 5:30-6 AM daily and having the food ready at 7 AM. The kitchen should be cleaned by 9 AM, and on most days you will join 2-3 other housekeeping staff for cabin cleaning or laundry tasks until approximately 12-1 PM. On days when we have no hot breakfast scheduled, you will do housekeeping tasks only. Work is 6 days per week, with one day off per week, working 6-8 hours per day. However, the schedule is dynamic and may only require a few hours of work on certain days or long hours on another day.

If interested, you will have the opportunity to cook dinner once a week. This would be your only task for the day.
