Job Title: Kitchen Assistant at HC-One
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.
As a Kitchen Assistant, your responsibilities will include helping to 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, managing fridge/freezer temperatures, showing new starters how to use equipment, or cleaning up spills, you'll always keep Resident wellbeing in mind.
We are looking for a Kitchen Assistant with some kitchen experience. You should have either an NVQ2 in Catering or Food Preparation, or be willing to study for one. Good record-keeping and organizational skills are essential, as well as the ability to follow recipes. When communicating with Residents or colleagues, you should be considerate and kind.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You should be able to recognize signs of possible abuse, harm, or neglect and know what steps to take if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional relevant training. You should also be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
We will provide full training, making this a great opportunity to learn new skills. In return, you'll enjoy a variety of benefits and support for your physical and psychological well-being, including:
* Hourly rate subject to experience and qualifications
* Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
* Free uniform
* A nutritious meal during shifts of eight hours or more
* Company pension scheme
* 28 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays

* Employee Assistance Programme for physical, mental, and financial support
* Recognition schemes such as 'Kindness in Care' and Long Service Awards
* Refer a Friend scheme offering up to £1000 per referral
We are committed to inclusive working practices and invite applicants from all backgrounds. We aim for a quick onboarding process to get you started with us as soon as possible.
