Head of Service (HC-One)
In your role as Head of Service 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.
Responsibilities
As Head of Service, you will help prepare and serve nutritious, healthy meals that our residents will love. This includes assisting and preparing the cakes for the morning tea trolley and the lunch‑time dessert/cakes. You will demonstrate the highest standards in cleanliness, food safety and hygiene. Whether you’re maintaining food supplies and fridge/freezer temperatures, showing new starters how to use the equipment or scrubbing the last bit of spilled food from inside the oven, you’ll always have resident‑well‑being in mind above anything else.
Qualifications & requirements
HC‑One are looking for 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 organisational skills will be essential, as will the ability to follow recipes. And, whenever you communicate with a Resident or co‑worker, you must be truly considerate and kind.
