NEW Casual Assistant with Cook Duties: RHWM Opportunity in Cumnock (Excellent Hours and No Late Shifts)

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and caring individual to join our Menzies Court Team in Cumnock on a casual basis covering Assistant and Cook duties.

Menzies Court provides a Retirement Housing with Meals Service to tenants, aged 60 and over, who wish to retain their independence but also want to benefit from leaving the worries of making their own meals each day to someone else. The right candidate will benefit from daytime work and great work life balance.

You will be part of a small supportive staff team in a development catering for 11 elderly tenants with Dementia. The successful candidate will be provided with uniforms and appropriate training for the role. Menzies Court is on great location and on bus route.

The Role

You will be responsible for undertaking a range of duties to ensure that internal communal areas are clean, hygienic and meet the standards expected by our tenants and visitors to the development. You will also assist by preparing the dining room for mealtimes, heating prepared meals and delivering them to tenants.

On occasion, the Assistant will be expected to clean vacant flats and/ or external pathways of the development and provide general and emergency assistance to tenants, as required. In addition you will respond to property emergencies, taking appropriate action when the Manager is off duty and providing cover for the development office as required.

This post will also cover Cook duties on a Casual basis. You will have the opportunity to place health and nutrition of older people at the centre of our meals service, working closely with our tenants to plan and prepare menus that meet individual preferences and dietary requirements.

Role Requirements

- Experience of a similar type of role would be an advantage but is not an essential requirement as training will be provided.

- You should bring to the role a genuine interest in working with older people and an ability to respond calmly to requests for assistance.

- REHIS Elementary Food Hygiene Qualification or equivalent would be desirable.

Our Benefits

- Casual Assistant hourly rate is £12.21

- We pay half the cost of Disclosure checks for employment opportunities

- Flexible working hours

- No obligation to accept shifts so easy to fit in with personal commitments

- Work in a wide variety of housing and care services and roles

- Valuable practical work experience in social and health care sector
