Are you a chef seeking a healthy budget and the autonomy to be creative?
Join our Chef Team at Porthaven to make a difference to people's lives whilst working hours that suit your family and personal life - no late finishes!
About the role:
A role as a 2nd chef at a Porthaven Care Home will give you just that, alongside fantastic development opportunities.
As Second Chef you will work as part of a small, but well-resourced Kitchen team to serve delicious, well-balanced and nutritious meals that our Residents will love. You'll provide a high-quality food service to support residents, responsive to their needs and contribute to their overall positive experience of living in the Home.

You should hold City & Guild/NVQ (or equivalent) and be confident conducting kitchen duties, including catering for special dietary needs.
Successful candidates are subject to satisfactory references and a DBS check and must be authorised to work in the UK.
