Description

Ever thought about working for the NHS? The Horton Hospital is looking for a highly motivated individual to join the in-house Catering team.

The Catering team are responsible for providing all patient food from breakfast through to lunch and supper, therefore if you have experience of working in a pressured catering environment and have demonstrable experience of working autonomously, along with being a confident communicator, why not consider joining our team.

In return for your hard work, we will offer you:

competitive salary and additional pay for any unsocial hours that you work

access to a number of local and national discounts - on holidays, insurance, shopping and a whole lot more

an industry leading pension

an environment where you can expect to be supported and developed.

The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community.

We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence.

These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family.
