We are currently recruiting for a Kitchen Manager to take on Dhanakosa’s much loved kitchen offering nutritious and delicious vegan food to our retreats. You’ll be running a fully vegan kitchen, managing a team of volunteer cooks, developing recipes and responsible for all ordering and food hygiene.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about great vegan food and a real people person, able to manage the practical, emotional and relational challenges of running a busy kitchen cooking lunch and dinner for up to 30 people each day and around 50 retreats a year. You’ll inherit a committed team of volunteer cooks (who do the majority of the cooking) and you’ll be responsible for recruiting and training more volunteers, managing the annual cooking rota and cooking yourself as needed (usually 6-8 weeks a year).

You will be living and working in wild and beautiful Scotland, helping provide conditions for 1,000 people a year to meet the Dharma.  You'll be joining a mixed community of Order Members and GFR Mitras, all deeply committed to Bhante's radical vision of work as practice to transform self and world. For Order Members there is also the opportunity to develop retreat leading/teaching skills. 

To apply:

• Read the role description and person specification. The ideal candidate will be either a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order or actively engaged in training for Ordination.
• Read the further information about coming to live and work at Dhanakosa
• Complete and return the application form

The closing date for this position is Sunday 25th September 2022.
