About The Role
Please note that this is a full-time role working 36 hours per week, with full flexibility required, including alternate weekend working.
As Head of Service at HC-One, you’ll value one thing above all: kindness. It influences every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist Care homes. Everyone 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 back to these individuals.
Your responsibilities will include helping to prepare and serve nutritious, healthy meals that our residents will love, assisting with and preparing cakes for the morning tea trolley and lunch desserts/cakes. You’ll demonstrate the highest standards in cleanliness, food safety, and hygiene. Whether maintaining food supplies and fridge/freezer temperatures, showing new starters how to use equipment, or cleaning up spills, resident well-being will always be your top priority.
HC-One is seeking someone with kitchen experience who is aware of The Food Safety Act 1990, The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, RIDDOR, and COSHH regulations. Great record-keeping and organizational skills are essential, as is the ability to follow recipes. When communicating with residents or colleagues, you should be considerate and kind—after all, it’s just in your nature.
Subject to experience and qualifications.
We’ll provide full training, making this a great opportunity to learn new skills. In return, you will enjoy access to a wide range of benefits and services to support your physical and psychological well-being.
