provides nursing care for up to 60 residents.

Because great food brings people together and every meal
should feel like home.

We’re looking for a skilled and caring Chef to join our catering team
in a role where your cooking doesn’t just nourish it uplifts. In our
home, food is more than fuel. It’s comfort, its culture, and it’s a
source of daily joy for the people we care for.

What We Offer
• £13.00 per hour
• Contracted to full time hours
• Flexible shifts on offer; days

If you’re passionate about creating meals that are both delicious and
meaningful, this could be the perfect role for you.

Why this role matters:

As Chef, you’ll help ensure that mealtimes are a highlight of the day
for our residents. From freshly prepared dishes to special occasion
bakes, your work supports wellbeing, celebrates life, and brings a
sense of routine and pleasure to everyone in our home.

You’ll be part of a team that understands the power of good food and
you’ll have the time, ingredients, and support you need to do your
best work.

What we’re looking for:

You’ll bring proven culinary skills and a real flair for flavour,
along with a practical understanding of food safety, nutrition, and
dietary requirements. Experience in a healthcare setting is a bonus,
but not essential what matters most is that you’re motivated by care
and take pride in what you serve.

About you:

You’ll be confident leading the kitchen in the absence of the Head
Chef, and comfortable balancing creativity with compliance.
Cleanliness, organisation, and attention to detail are second nature
to you as is the ability to work as part of a team that truly values
each other.

If you’re ready to bring warmth, flavour, and skill to a place where
your cooking really matters, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and join a team where every day brings new
opportunities to make a difference.
