About The Role

The care sector is such a rich and rewarding place to work. There is variety in your work and in the roles available – you don’t have to be a carer to make a meaningful difference in our care homes. We want the kindest and most resilient people to come and support our residents – no two days will be the same and you will receive the learning and development you need to thrive.

For you, this will mean managing the kitchen team to cook and serve nutritious, healthy meals that our residents will love. You’ll provide great choice, considering cultural preferences and special dietary requirements. Managing the kitchen supplies, you will also be responsible for checking and maintaining kitchen equipment. You will complete all necessary paperwork such as COSHH, HACPP, whilst adhering to company policies and procedures. Occasionally, you will help cater for ad hoc special events.  These may include 100th birthday celebrations, summer BBQ’s and Christmas parties. Whether you’re managing the food stock, working out how to make the most of your budget, or liaising with central support teams on nutrition standards compliance - you’ll always have resident wellbeing in mind above anything else..

Become a key worker and make difference.

We are committed to providing the quickest possible turnaround from the point of making you a job offer to you starting with us on day one.

Hourly rate is subject to experience and qualifications.
