Cook team volunteers play a crucial role in ensuring that guests receive nutritious and tasty meals. We will be providing meals for 5-7 people each evening. We are looking for people who will be able to help us with the following: Cooking: Preparing and cooking meals for guests according to the planned menu, ensuring food safety and hygiene standards are met. Meal planning: Working with shelter staff to create balanced and nutritious menus that cater to the dietary needs and preferences of the guests. Cook Team volunteers will be required from 6pm - 9pm (at the latest, often finishing earlier). Ideally volunteers will be able to commit to a minimum of one evening a fortnight. We ask volunteers to sign up for the 'season' from Mid October to Mid January- but the shelter will be open until April should volunteers wish to continue.

Ability to communicate and engage with people from a variety of backgrounds, including guests who may have recently been made homeless. Preparing a meal for 5-7 people following a meal plan agreed with the shelter staff, accommodating allergies and similar requirements. Cooks are asked to bring ingredients (they choose the meal to be cooked) and are reimbursed for the cost and prepare the meal in our shelter kitchen.
We provide all required training to perform the role (including food hygiene certification)
We ask that volunteers arrive for 6pm and leave by 9pm at the latest, though can be flexible where work or other start times may be earlier. Ideally we ask volunteers commit to one evening per fortnight between October and January- but we know holidays, work or other commitments can arise, so this is flexible.
