ABOUT YOU

You'll need to have previous experience of working in a professional kitchen and catering for specialist diets, providing meals for large groups of people, alongside a Basic Food Hygiene Certificate.

Ideally you'll also be working towards a Level 2 Diploma in Food Production and Cooking or equivalent but this is not essential.

You'll be confident in engaging with our elderly residents to understand their individual needs and enjoy being part of the wider team in the home.
