Program Details

Your main tasks:
Assisting the chef during classes (passing ingredients, helping guests, setting up tools)
Basic kitchen prep (cutting vegetables, preparing trays and ingredients)
Keeping the kitchen tidy during and after the session
Light housekeeping or general venue care on non-class days (no deep cleaning – we have a professional cleaner weekly)
You will not be the one who does the actual cooking, just assisting.

You'll interact with travelers from around the world, so a friendly and open attitude is essential.
You'll also have access to the kitchen and ingredients to cook your own meals, and we offer flexible free days depending on our class schedule.

At the moment, we are only looking for 1 volunteer!
The volunteer will be staying in a room at the cooking venue.

Activities & Shift

On class days:
Prep the space and ingredients
During the class, support the chef and guests, keep the space clean and organized
After class, assist with dishes (dishwasher available), sweep, help reset the space

On non-class days:
Light tasks like organizing supplies, tidying balconies, or helping with the general upkeep of the space

Shifts:
25 hours/week with 2 days off (flexible and upon discussion).
On the occasion when we might need you 6 days/week instead of 5 days/week, we will balance it out by removing a day from next week, etc.

Rules

Keep the kitchen clean and tidy
No smoking indoors
Please respect the space and keep it clean and tidy at all times. You’ll be sharing some common areas with the cooking class venue, so it's important not to leave any personal mess, especially when we're expecting guests.
