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

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.


Our lovely new care home in Edinburgh will reflect the spirit, fun and warmth of this lovely corner of the capital.

Portobello (or 'Porty' to locals) is three miles east of Edinburgh city centre and is known for its strong community ethos and friendly atmosphere.

There are great cafes and shops on Porty's vibrant High Street, a thriving monthly market and one of the only original and still-functioning Turkish baths in Scotland.

The care homeitself will be a stone's throw from the sea, the sandy beach and the long seafront promenade of this historic suburb.

Our care home is being built over three floors and every aspect of its design reflects the Care UK ethos of helping residents to enjoy active and fulfilling lives.

Residents will be able to catch their favourite films in comfy chairs in the cinema, or enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and delicious cake in the coffee shop, which opens onto a second floor terrace.

This spacious area will give residents and their visitors the chance to catch up 'al fresco' on warm days and enjoy views westwards to Arthur's Seat and eastwards to the beach at Portobello.
