The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre is advertising this role on behalf of City of Boroondara - Volunteer Cooks.

Tasks and Responsibilities - Volunteer Cooks:

• Prepare their own main meal as part of their usual routine, plating up an extra portion for their selected Diner
• Deliver the meal to the home of their selected Diner who is located within the local community

Days, times and regularity of visit are all flexible, by mutual agreement between Cook and Diner. Often our Cooks enjoy trips away - this is fine as long as a Cook clearly communicates their absence to their Diner.
