Cooked With Love Bowen Meals On Wheels Chef Recognised

Dedicated and passionate, that is how you would describe Bowen Meals On Wheels chef Tamarra Robson.

Recognised on Aged Care Employee Day, on August 7, Tamarra has been a vital cog of the Bowen Meals On Wheels team for over 10 years.

Bowen Meals on Wheels Treasurer Chris Storrie says that Tamarra has “clocked up to 10 years of employment just a month ago”.

“I can’t recall her ever having a day off, and when she isn’t feeling 100 per cent, she makes sure everything is ready before we send her home,” Chris explained.

“She is so flexible and always eager and able to help.”

During her 10 years with Bowen Meals on Wheels, Tamarra has become a staple, a compassionate and adaptable individual, who goes above and beyond for clients and volunteers alike.

“We couldn’t operate how we are without her.

“We’re currently looking for a relief chef, so that we can force her to have a holiday!” Chris laughed.

Throughout the 10 years, Tamarra has overseen the growth of the service, from 40 clients to closer to 80, each receiving meals regularly, be it daily, weekly, or monthly.

“We’re getting busier and busier,” Chris explained.

“Tamarra is in the kitchen from 6.15am, with three to four volunteers, and at about 10.20am, 12 or so volunteers arrive to do the deliveries.”

This busy operation keeps everyone on their toes, but the clients sing praises to Tamarra and the team at Bowen Meals on Wheels.
