Job description:
Who are we?
Oyster Care Homes are focused on making our care homes not just luxury places for our residents to live, but also wonderful places for our team members to work. Because we believe that our residents deserve the very best care we can offer, we are committed to finding exceptional, caring individuals who want to join our team.
We will ensure that every team member is offered the opportunity to develop their skills and to progress if desired. We believe that caring, compassionate people can find a rewarding career in helping others and that it is our duty to help and encourage them to do so.
The Role:
As a Regional Head Chef you will, in the absence of the Home Chef, effectively manage the Kitchen and Kitchen Team. You will support our aim of delivering high standards to Residents by providing nutritious, varied and well-balanced meals that are safely and hygienically prepared and served. Additionally, in the absence of the Home Chef, you will be responsible for supervising the catering team, along with managing and controlling the catering budget and submitting food orders as required in a timely manner.
You will support with training and coaching of our existing teams, as well as induction of new team members and new home openings. Additionally, you will work on catering projects outside of the home in line with business needs.
An excellent leader is required to take the dining experience to the next level, with passion and flair for the everyday meals, along with the ability to work with the Home Managers and Lifestyle Coordinators to support resident activities and events for the Home.
We are looking for someone who has an upbeat personality, a happy disposition, self-motivation and the ability to encourage others to provide the best culinary experience possible.
Hours of work:
Our Chef's hours of work are 08.00 – 18.00, and they are expected to work on a permanent rolling rota of three consecutive shifts on, followed by three consecutive shifts off. This equates to an average working week of 35 hours in total. As a Regional Head Chef, you will be required to support the Homes across the South East of England and work these shifts accordingly as required. However, this role will average 40 hours per week taking into account the additional projects you will be working on.
This is a hybrid role supporting Oyster Care Homes across the network, and therefore the ability to reliably commute across the South East of England is essential. There may be occasions where support and travel to other regions may be required.
We will offer:
• A permanent contract of employment
• A competitive rate of pay
• We will support you to complete an NVQ qualification
• Fully funded enhanced DBS check
• A job with purpose and satisfaction
• Fully funded uniform
• Paid Breaks
• Refer a friend bonus scheme
