We're hiring a talented and passionate Chef to join a warm and welcoming 35-bed care home in Clitheroe.
This home takes pride in delivering delicious, beautifully presented meals that feel like home – from hearty traditional favourites to flavour-packed curries and comforting pasta dishes. Freshly baked cakes and a flair for presentation are always encouraged and appreciated.
With a strong focus on quality and care, this is an opportunity for a chef who wants to make a meaningful difference through their cooking.
About the Role
* Lead chef on duty, responsible for kitchen operations during your shift
* Prepare fresh, homemade meals with variety and great presentation
* Cater to individual dietary needs and preferences with creativity and care
* Maintain high standards of hygiene, food safety, and cleanliness
* Work closely with an assistant chef on shift
* Coordinate effectively with an assistant who works alternate days to ensure smooth menu planning and consistency
What We're Looking For
* A skilled and creative Chef with a passion for homemade food
* Someone who values care, consistency, and connection as much as flavour
* Excellent organisational and communication skills
* Experience in a care setting is a bonus, but not essential
* Confidence working independently with the support of an assistant
* A positive, warm personality that fits into a close-knit care team
What's on Offer
* £17 per hour
* Fixed schedule: full weekends + two weekday shifts
* Supportive, family-feel work environment
* A rewarding role where your food makes a real impact every day
