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 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.
About You
As a Kitchen Assistant, you will help prepare and serve nutritious, healthy meals that our residents will love. You’ll demonstrate high standards in cleanliness, food safety, and hygiene. Whether maintaining food supplies and fridge/freezer temperatures, showing new starters how to use equipment, or cleaning up spills, you’ll always prioritize Resident wellbeing.
HC-One is looking for a part-time Kitchen Assistant with some kitchen experience. You should have or be willing to study for an NVQ2 in Catering or Food Preparation. Good record-keeping and organizational skills are essential, as is the ability to follow recipes. When communicating with Residents or co-workers, you should be considerate and kind.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. It’s important that you can recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know what to do if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should be able to seek advice and report concerns appropriately, including escalation if necessary.
