Chef

Are you an experienced Chef tired of midnight closes and working split shifts, or just looking for a fresh start in new surroundings? If so, we are looking for a caring and dedicated Head Chef to join our catering team in a beautiful elderly Care Home just south of Milford.

Care Home Head Chef: Ref: PK69217

• £16.00 per hour starting pay rate
• Up to 5 days per week, 7am to 4pm shifts
• Support of a Kitchen Assistant
• Predominantly Monday to Friday, flexible for weekend availability

The 34 bedded Care Home offers a lovely kitchen in a fantastic semi-rural setting. Residents have access to beautiful communal lounges and dining rooms, as well as a beautiful, secure landscaped garden with outdoor seating to be enjoyed.

The role of the Head Chef is to oversee the kitchen team and to lead the Kitchen Assistants to create balanced and nutritious meals. You will work to create inspiring mealtimes for all residents at the home, catering to all preferences and dietary requirements, using local and fresh produce where possible.

Head Chef candidates will ideally have a Food Hygiene Certificate and previous experience of working in a Care Home, School or similar environment. (Previous Care Home and IDDSI experience would be advantageous.)

The role would suit an experienced Care Home Sous-Chef looking to build on existing skills and run their own kitchen, or an established Head Chef or Kitchen Manager tired of the traditionally unsociable hours.

What we can offer the new Head Chef / Kitchen Manager

• £16.00 per hour starting salary
• Up to 5 days per week (7am-4pm shifts)
• Ongoing training and development
• Excellent support and a fun-loving, dedicated team
