Could you live and work at Adhisthana?
Kitchen Vacancy

Adhisthana is a team-based Right Livelihood and home to two Communities, where our collective life and work is a spiritual practice.

We are looking for a Kitchen Manager and a Second Cook.  For both roles you will need to be physically fit and able to work full time, be self-motivated and work well with others.  Key areas of work will include:

  • Cooking and serving retreatants, guests, and community members, including any restricted diets
  • Taking care of the kitchen and related spaces
  • Maintaining and ordering food and equipment and upholding hygiene standards
  • Working with and leading a team of cooks and volunteers


To live at Adhisthana is to live a life in service of a vision greater than one’s own. This immersive context is suitable for Order Members or those who have at least two years' experience of regularly attending a Triratna Buddhist centre and going on retreat, and who have already asked or intend to ask for ordination.

The application deadline is September 22nd and a short-list of applicants will be invited to interview in the first half of October, with a view to moving in and beginning work from November.
