Overview
In your role as a Kitchen Assistant at HC-One, you’ll value one thing above all: kindness. It’s the thread that runs through everything we do in our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes. You’ll help provide nutritious, well-balanced meals that support the health and wellbeing of Residents, including those with specific dietary needs.
Responsibilities
* Assisting with meal preparation under the direction of the Chef or Cook
* Serving meals with warmth and respect in a timely and friendly manner
* Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the kitchen, including equipment and surfaces
* Monitoring and recording food storage temperatures (fridges, freezers, etc.)
* Supporting stock rotation and ensuring ingredients are properly stored
* Showing new team members how to safely use kitchen equipment
* Washing up and ensuring the kitchen remains spotless — even after a busy lunch rush
Everything you do will reflect your care for the Residents, always keeping their comfort and dignity front of mind.
Qualifications and requirements
We’re looking for someone with some kitchen experience and a real passion for helping others. You’ll need either an NVQ2 in Catering or Food Preparation or a willingness to work towards it. Strong organisational skills, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to follow recipes and record information accurately are essential. The role requires safeguarding awareness; you’ll need to recognise signs of potential abuse, harm or neglect and know how to act, including attending safeguarding training and reporting concerns.
