Roving Chef, 40 Hours Per Week, 5 Days From 7 & No Late Nights!

As one of Scotland's leading Care providers we are committed to delivering the highest quality of service and ensuring that independence, privacy, dignity and respect is at the heart of everything they do. All of their staff are highly trained, knowledgeable, empathetic and maintain a stringent and uncompromising standard of care which exceeds both company and industry standards.

"Our dedicated Staff are our most valuable asset in delivering the very best care & support to our residents. That's why we are currently looking to hire the very best to join our team, could that be you?", Working in a Care Home as a Chef can be a challenging, however, a very rewarding role to undertake. Whilst you still have the challenge of ensuring the food you prepare is of a high standard, the hours of work are more sociable and allows you to have a better "work, life balance".

You will need to know how to adapt meals to make them suitable for residents with different dietary needs and be skilled at creating healthy balanced meals for everyone. You will be aware and responsible for ensuring that good nutritional meals are served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As well as preparing and cooking meals you may be responsible for managing and ordering the supplies, menu creation and ensuring the kitchen and equipment meets all health and safety requirements.

Ideally, you should have some previous experience working within a Care Home or in a commercial kitchen with an SVQ/ NVQ qualification in food preparation or cooking. Enjoy working as part of a team, in a busy, fast paced environment with a passion for providing the very best dining experience for our residents.

When applying for this position, remember you will be responsible for preparation and meal delivery to people in their own home which is entirely different to working in a restaurant. Residents like to enquire about their meals, therefor, excellent communication skills and sensitivity to their needs is essential.
