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, you will be responsible for 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 food stock, optimizing your budget, coaching a colleague, or supervising kitchen clean-up, you'll always prioritize Resident wellbeing.
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 qualifications, we value your positive energy, ability to get along with people, organization skills, and attention to detail in following recipes. When communicating with Residents or colleagues, kindness and consideration are essential.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You should be able to recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know what actions to take if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and pursue additional training as needed, including seeking advice and reporting concerns, with escalation when necessary.
