Cook

Are you looking for a rewarding career that gives you flexibility and a real sense of a job well done? Working within a supportive team, improving the lives of older people could be for you?

As part of our wider care team, you’ll have a key role to play in the wellbeing of our residents. Responsible for preparing appetising meals for our care home residents, you will have a passion for cooking and will want to deliver great menus that understand the challenges of catering for older people. You’ll be a valued member of a friendly, close-knit team, working closely with your care team colleagues to address the individual needs of our residents, to ensure that they are well cared for.

This is a demanding role for a cook, but you will have lots of support and quality training to make a success of it.

To be successful, you will be a capable, experienced cook with a cooking qualification. In addition, you will be a caring person who knows the vital role mealtimes play in the lives of others. Although previous experience in catering for older people in a care home or similar setting is beneficial, it is more important that you have an enthusiasm and commitment to good home cooked food.

You will work a rota over 7 days but that there are no split shifts and no regular evening work, working hours are mainly between 8.30am and 5pm.
