Thursday Dinner Coordinator
Our weekly Thursday night selection dinners are an important part of the South Melbourne Districts community, bringing players, coaches and volunteers together at our Albert Park clubrooms.
We’re looking for a Thursday Dinner Coordinator to take the lead on planning and preparing these meals throughout the football season.
What you’ll do
You’ll be responsible for:
- Planning a varied and appealing weekly dinner menu
- Working within an agreed budget, with meals sold to players for $15 each
- Shopping for ingredients and managing quantities
- Completing the main food preparation and cooking each Thursday
- Coordinating team volunteers who assist with final preparation, serving and clean-up
- Helping make Thursday dinners something our club community wants to stick around for each week.
You won’t be doing everything alone. Volunteers from across our teams will be rostered each week to assist with final preparation, serving and cleaning, while you take the lead on the menu, shopping, cooking and overall coordination.
Why this role matters
Thursday selection dinners are an important part of our weekly club culture, and what’s on the menu can make a real difference to attendance. We’re looking for someone who enjoys cooking for a crowd and can bring creativity and variety to our weekly meals while keeping them affordable.
As the person bringing everyone together around the dinner table each week, you’ll become a big part of our club community and have the opportunity to build genuine connections with players, coaches, volunteers and supporters from across the club.
This is a great opportunity for someone who loves cooking, catering or hospitality, with plenty of scope to bring your own ideas to the menu and make the role your own.
