Description

You:

You're a hard-working individual with experience working in a busy kitchen. Ideally, you've already got some experience in a care home setting. You're also a caring person who understands how important mealtimes are to older, vulnerable people. You're a good team player who takes pride in your job and is happy to go the extra mile. You know the importance of food hygiene and health and safety rules. Above all, you want to be a valued member of a friendly team. You're keen to progress in your catering career and do your bit to improve the nutrition of older people.

Your role:

Reporting to the Head Chef, you'll make sure all kitchen equipment and areas are properly cleaned.

As part of our hard-working team, you'll also help prepare tasty, nutritious meals that our residents and guests will enjoy.

For example, you'll take pressure off the chefs by cooking breakfast in the mornings. At main mealtimes, you'll add those much-loved finishing touches like custard or gravy.

You'll be responsible for safe, hygienic food storage and for making sure kitchen equipment and cleaning materials are kept in their correct places.

In return, we'll give you lots of support, training and opportunities to progress in your career.

About Care UK:

We run over 120 homes and day clubs across the UK. We provide residential, nursing, dementia and end-of-life care for older people.

As one of the UK's leading care home providers, our goal is to help every employee fulfil his or her potential - with first-class training and support.

We offer a combination of high quality care and a warm welcome for residents, friends and family.

Stanley Park is a modern and attractive purpose-built care home with a peaceful residential location in the heart of the small town of Stanley.

We offer nursing, residential, respite and day care for older people, including individuals living with Alzheimer's, other types of dementia and those who may have behaviours that challenge.

We also provide sensitive and supportive end of life care.

Our friendly, compassionate team provides a high standard of personalised care to each resident and day guest.

We take the time to really get to know every individual and find out about their lifetime experiences and interests.

We involve residents in planning their own care, to make sure they feel valued, listened to and independent.

We keep residents' families informed about all decisions and we always have a warm welcome for visitors - and that includes any family pets that want to pop in.
