RESPONSIBILITIES

*** Love Cooking? Love People? This Could Be Your Next Chapter ***

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 influencers among us. Just real humble people sharing real food and real stories.

Here’s an interesting fact — every member in our team started as a stay-at-home mum who simply loved cooking for their families and sharing recipes with friends. Today, they are 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:
1) Conduct 2–3 fun, guided cooking or baking sessions a week (each session is 6 hours)
2) Share your favourite recipes, stories, and personal stories with guests
3) Create a warm, welcoming environment for people from all over the world
4) Be part of a close-knit team that laughs, learns, and helps you grow

REQUIREMENTS

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You:
✅ Are available on weekday mornings AND afternoons
(bonus if you can do some evenings and weekends)
✅ Can commit to at least 3 days per week
✅ Enjoy interacting with people
✅ Can cook and chat at the same time (like you do at family gatherings!)
✅ Are a Singaporean looking for flexible, meaningful work
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 an appetite to learn, willingness to work hard and a love for sharing good food. You just need to be willing to take the first step

(Note: As we are a social enterprise focusing on providing flexi-work opportunities for locals, we will only consider Singaporeans for this role)

Working Hours

Weekdays Duty roster: 2-3 sessions per week 6hrs per session, depending on client's requirements

TO APPLY, CANDIDATES NEED TO SUBMIT:

1) Resume/CV (or a cover letter explaining why you are keen on this role)
2) List of 10 dishes (non-pork) that you can bake/cook well
(If shortlisted, candidates will be required a cooking audition where you will cook up two dishes from this list for us to assess your suitability for this role)
