About The Role

In your role as a Kitchen Assistant at HC-One, you’ll value one thing above all. Kindness. It carries across every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. Every single person who works here understands that our Residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One, where we have 14 hour contracts available, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

You will be the key link between the main kitchen and the serving of food to our residents. You will assist the chefs to plate meals and prepare food trolleys, making sure all preparation areas are kept clean. You will keep a close eye on stock rotation, complying to company policies and procedures and following all mandatory COSHH and HACPP guidelines. From time to time, you will assist with catering for special events such as summer BBQs and Christmas parties.

Hourly rate is subject to experience and qualifications. 

About You

HC-One are looking for a Kitchen Assistant with some kitchen experience, but what’s for certain is that you’ll have either an NVQ2 in Catering or Food Preparation or the willingness to study for one. Great record keeping and organisational skills will be essential, as will the ability to follow recipes. And, whenever you communicate with a Resident or co-worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.

Well, after all, it’s just in your nature.
