Overview
Join to apply for the Care Home Chef role at Allegra Care.
Olive Tree House. An Allegra Care Home. Here at our beautiful, purpose-built care home, we provide a household model of care, and mealtimes are always a highlight of the day. We are looking to welcome an energetic chef with big ideas and an understanding of special dietary needs. You’ll have some care home experience to understand special diets, and you’ll be supported in your role by a head chef on site. You’ll get the chance to work with residents and managers to design and tailor food that provides an excellent nutritional balance, while providing a hospitality experience you can be proud of. We are a growing company, and will be able to support you to provide opportunities to build a career in this growing, exciting sector.
We pay up to £14.34 per hour for a 40-hour working week, and while the home is a seven-day business, the hours are much more flexible and family friendly than regular hospitality.
Shifts are four, 10-hour shifts a week (7:30am - 5:30pm), and include alternate weekends. Late nights are rare (special events mainly), and the role offer a much better work-life balance than most kitchens.
