In your role as an Assistant Chef 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, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
As an Assistant Chef, that will mean cooking and serving nutritious, healthy meals that our Residents will love. You’ll provide outstanding support to our First Chef, taking charge in their absence. Whether you’re managing the food stock, working out how to make the most of your budget, coaching a colleague, or supervising the kitchen clean-up, you’ll always have Resident wellbeing in mind above anything else.
HC-One is looking for an Assistant Chef with at least a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate and a good understanding of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points. Beyond that, it’s all about your positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You’ll be organised, meet deadlines, present your food attractively, and have a knack for following recipes perfectly. When communicating with a Resident or co-worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. It is important that you can recognize signs of possible abuse, harm, or neglect and know what to do if there are concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should also be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
We’ll provide full training, offering a great opportunity to learn something new. In return, you will enjoy access to a variety of benefits and services to support your physical and psychological well-being. Throughout your career as an Assistant Chef, we will invest in you and provide additional support and benefits, including:
* Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
* Free uniform
* Hourly rate subject to experience and qualifications
* A nutritious meal during shifts of eight hours or more
* Company pension scheme
