Production Kitchen Supervisor

We currently have up to 1.5 FTE available to appoint to permanently from 1 July 2024.

This is where jobs become careers, passion finds its purpose, and your voice finds its place. Are you ready to dive headfirst into the community taking excellent health care where it's needed? Then South Metropolitan Health Service is the perfect place to start!

In late 2020 the WA Government announced that full operation of the Peel Health Campus would transfer to South Metropolitan Health Service on the completion of the current contract with existing private operator Ramsay Health Care. This transition to SMHS will occur in August 2024. Peel Health Campus is a general hospital located in the City of Mandurah, 75 km south of Perth on the doorstep of the south-west, known for its stunning beaches, internationally significant wetlands, and some of Australia’s most spectacular waterways for boating, fishing and wildlife. It originally opened in 1988 as the 32-bed Mandurah District Hospital, and now operates with 206 licenced beds, bays and treatment areas. Transitioning the hospital to public hands paves the way for the hospital’s redevelopment and service transformation to meet the needs of the Peel-Murray region.

The Production Kitchen Supervisor coordinates day-to-day catering activities including quality audits and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) compliance for Peel Health Campus. This position ensures food productivity meets food safety and quality standards with a continuous improvement approach to service delivery. The role also involves assisting with leading, motivating and managing the production catering team.
