We are currently only seeking for a “CHEF/RANCH HAND”, who can help out for 2 days in the kitchen and who does maintenance on the other 3 days. This is especially interesting for Chefs/or talented Cook, who would also like to do some other work at the ranch.
The initial job duties are cooking during the 2 days when our main chef has his days off and maintenance, mowing lawn, fixing fencing, etc. on the other days.
We are especially interested in those looking to work independently, who are skilled in multi-tasking, are self-motivated, flexible, clean and like to give 110% - if that's what it needs to get the job done. Applicants must be able to work legally in Canada and we would need a commitment till the End of September.
