This is a general application for the Chef role at GP. While there isn’t a specific opening right now, we will keep your application on file for when there is an opportunity!

————

We are looking for an experienced, skilled and self-motivated Chef to run the kitchen at our remote off-grid lodge.

We are planning a full season of Kayaking and Scuba Diving trips at our lodge, God's Pocket Resort. 'GP' is nestled in a protected bay on a remote island off the northern tip of Vancouver Island.

GP is open for diving and kayaking trips between mid-March and the end of October.

We will be hosting groups of up to 13 guests for a week at a time, and they will require 3 delicious, home-style meals per day. There will be 3 other crew members at the lodge, and you would have support from our Front End crew member with serving meals to guests, dishes, and potentially meal prep.

Breakfast and dinner are typically sit down affairs, while lunch can either be sit down meal or a packed lunch for guests to take out on their kayaks or the dive boat. Timing of meals for the kayak trips is quite predictable, however meal timing for dive trips is variable based on the weather, currents and tides (which determine when the boat goes out for dives).

The Chef's responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

- Create a menu that reflects our style, stays in budget,



and utilizes your skills best (we have past menus available, in case you need inspiration)

- Some modifications may be needed for guests with special diets (veg, vegan, etc), however as we are off grid we do not have the facilities to accommodate all requests (eg. truly gluten free)

- Weekly food orders (Sysco & Save-On)

- Prepare 3 meals a day for up to 13 guests and 2-4 crew (including yourself)

- Breakfast (sit down)

- Lunch (either sit down or packed for the boats)

- Dinner (sit down)

- Maintain a clean workspace with regularly scheduled cleaning of the kitchen area

- Maintain daily temperature logs of our fridges, freezers, and cold room.

We require that you have had the following experience:
- Building & managing menus

- Placing food orders and staying within a budget

- Working solo (although you will have some support at GP)

- Working in an off grid lodge or camp (if you've worked in a similar place, you'll know why we ask for this!!)

Compensation The position is contract-based (for the time period of the season) and full time for the duration of that contract. You will be entitled to a daily rate at the lodge, and you will have free room and board, as well. All tips from guests are split equally amongst the crew.
