Are you an experienced chef, used to catering for large groups of people, looking to design your own menus, cooking with fresh seasonal food?
You'll need to have previous experience of working in a professional kitchen, providing meals for large numbers, with knowledge of menu planning for specialist diets. Ideally, you will hold, or be working towards, a Level 3 Diploma in Hospitality Supervision and Leadership or equivalent, but this is not essential. You'll have experience of leading, motivating, and inspiring a team and be confident in engaging with our elderly residents to understand their individual needs. You'll know how to manage your budget and stock effectively. If you think you have the right skills and attitude we're looking for as a chef within our care homes, then you could be the next to join us. So, apply and get your career started with us today.
Are you looking for your next challenge without split shifts and anti-social hours? Would you like full autonomy over menu development, with the opportunity to cook nutritious, high-quality, flavoursome, and well-balanced meals that our residents will love? Working as a Chef in our homes, you'll oversee all aspects of our kitchen and catering services, including management of a small team, ensuring the highest standards of nutrition, hygiene, and safety at all times. You may occasionally be asked to cater for meals for other day centres, luncheon clubs, and community activities, and some weekend work will be required. Nutrition is an important element of the care package that we provide. You'll be actively involved in the nutritional needs of our residents to ensure that a high-quality dining experience is received by everyone. You'll build relationships with our residents and their families so that you understand and can accommodate their personal preferences. In joining us, you'll also become part of our extended family. You'll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth, and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes.
