Job description

Love Cooking? Love People? This Might Be Your Dream Job.

Hey there! 👋
If you’re that person who lights up the kitchen — the one your friends call when they need a recipe tip or a taste tester — we want to meet you.

At Food Playground, we believe in the power of food to connect people. We’re a social enterprise that turns passionate home cooks (like you!) into confident culinary instructors. No fancy titles, celebrity chefs or high-profile social media influencers in our team. Just humble people staying in the heartlands sharing real food and real stories.

Here’s a fun fact — every member of our team started as a stay-at-home mum/active senior who simply loved cooking for their families. Today, they’re inspiring others through hands-on cultural cooking classes for tourists and fun corporate team-building workshops. And guess what? You could be next.

What You’ll Do:

• Run 2–3 fun, interactive cooking or baking sessions a week (each up to 6 hours)
• Share your favourite recipes, stories, and kitchen tips with our guests
• Be part of a close-knit team that laughs, learns, and supports one another

You’ll Be Perfect If You:

• ✅ Are available on weekday mornings and afternoons (bonus if you can do some evenings/weekends)
• ✅ Can commit to at least 3 sessions per week
• ✅ Are confident speaking in front of small groups
• ✅ Can cook and chat at the same time (like you do at family gatherings!)
• ✅ Do not have prior F&B experience and are not a professional trained chef (we strictly only accept amateur home cooks for this position)

And don’t worry — you don’t need any teaching experience. We’ll train and mentor you every step of the way. All you need is heart, energy, and a love for sharing good food.
