Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development.

Here are some of the other benefits you'll enjoy as a valued member of our team:

• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme
• Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £1000 for every recommendation you make who successfully starts working for us
• Blue Light Card and "My Rewards" programme, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more

ABOUT YOU

You don't need to have previous formal catering experience, as we'll give you the training you need, although it would be helpful if you hold a Basic Food Hygiene Certificate. What we're looking for is someone who is keen on cooking and takes pride in kitchen hygiene standards. You'll have a positive can do approach, with good communication skills and you'll be passionate about ensuring our residents receive the best service possible.

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.
